You may want to provide the newer version of XMODEM on the DISK-A.BIN image since assembles to only 4KB in size rather than the 8KB that is currently provided.

Re: Source code?
Hi Lee:
Thanks for replying. I was looking for the source code for XMODEM. The executable is already provided in the DISK-A.BIN image and it is the "Martin Eberhard" version. There are a few source

Re: Single-stepping without FRONT PANEL
Scott,
Yes, I think that should work.? Just follow the schematic portions of the front panel for the timer interrupt.

Re: Source code?
Okay, I found a version of XMODEM that assembles and works properly.
It seems that the one provided with the SDcard images is V2.2 (7 Oct 2014 @ 8KB), while the one I found is V2.4 (4 August 2016 @

Single-stepping without FRONT PANEL
Hello All:
I have Z80MC + SIO card. No FP.
If I wish to implement the single-step feature of the ZMC monitor, is it as easy as providing a 1KHz interrupt (derived and thus sync'd with Z80 clock) and

Re: An idea!
I guess binary would have to be 1's and 2's then! LoL...

Re: An idea!
Roman numerals require a larger jump as there is no numeral for 0-zero.
That had to wait for the Arabic mathmatitions to invent.
Think of computing without the concept of zero.

Just compare the Altair to the IMSAI front panels. They are separated by 2-3 years and the grouping changed from an octal grouping to a hex grouping.

Different colored LEDS would do the same. Grest idea.
It would be good if the ROM monitor could .support both Hex and Octal, but understand the issues.
