Uploading PROM content -- any gotchas?
Posted: November 29th, 2022, 3:39 am
Dear Altair Clone fans
I've been failing to upload .hex format PROM content to my Altair via the configuration menu. I'm sure I succeeded before as I have some PROM slots filled with code I want my students to have available at switch-on. But now when I try to upload new content to other PROM slots I get the "PROM receive aborted or failed. PROM not updated" message when I have TeraTerm send the file (plain send, not Xmodem). Does the hex file look okay to you:
:20FA0000DB06E601C200FADB07FE00CA00FA7723DB06E601C210FADB0777237CFE02C210C6
:02FA2000FA7674
:00000001FF
? Any other common 'gotchas' I might be falling foul of?
Regards
