SWTPC 6800

[Brad H]

Thanks Brent.  So when I hit the end of an 'S' record line.. is it just a
Line Feed I need to go to the next?  Or just type the next S record right in
behind it?

Also curious about how you type S records at the monitor prompt.  I'm
reading and trying to figure out how to do that.

Many thanks!

Brad

Yes, the monitor just sees bytes coming at it, it can't distinguish whether
they're typed or coming from a host/machine,  as long as the byte sequence
accords with the Motorola S record format.

You can formulate your own S records and type them at the monitor, too.
