I have the manual somewhere that explains this. I add a patch that makes the console output appear on the VDM-1. Other choices are teletype, etc. Unfortunately, I have temporarily misplaced this all. I have no idea when I will find it. If anyone else can help, please do so. -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Cini, Richard [SMTP:RCini@congressfinancial.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 12:31 PM To: 'ClassCompList' Subject: Altair 8K BASIC configuration While trying to get the 8K BASIC to work with the Altair emulator, I've figured-out that there must be some way for the user to define, using the sense switches, which I/O ports could be used for the console. Does anyone have the manual for 8K BASIC or handwritten notes on the topic? I need to find the definition of the switches at startup because I'm losing console input on the emulator when using 8K BASIC. Thanks. ========================== Richard A.
