<I've already asked John Wilson this, but has anyone compiled the one <available on dBit's ftp site for Linux? Or know of another one for <Linux/Windows that's available online? I'd like to try it out... I've looked at it and it's a bit old but should work. All a tu58 is if you ignor the tape drive itself is a 256k block addressable memeory at the end of a serial line talking a packet protocal. It only took 2048 bytes (with selftest and autoboot) of 8085 code to do it so it's not rocket science. Now to do that on a PC or whatever running most any OS is to beable to create a datafile of 256k and address any 512bytes block within it. So if you look at that code most of the work is working aound the OS! Allison
