Are the programs from the SWTPc 6800 interchangeable with the Altair 680?
Is there a good web reference that compares these two?
Yes [it is a 6800 is both cases] and no [they are not identical for io
or memory maps]. Depends on the IO and where the program runs in memory
as they have slightly different memeory maps. Also if memory serves
the 680 used a differnt monitor program than SWTP so any program that
uses the monitor for IO or other routines are iffy.
