I was having some fun hand-assembling code:

Code: Select all
.data
   HELLO\0

006
sioinit:
   mvi a, 003
   out 020
   mvi a, 021
   out 020

016
init:
   lxi bc,labeladdr

021
waitforchr:
   in 020
   rrc
   jnc waitforchr

027
chrcmp:
   ldax bc
   ori 0
   jz match
   mov d,a
   in 021
   cmp d
   jnz fail
   inx bc
   jz waitforchr

050
fail:
   jmp init


053
match:
   jmp match



Assembled:

Code: Select all

       0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7 
000: 110 105 114 114 117 000 076 003
010: 323 020 076 021 323 020 001 000
020: 000 333 020 017 322 021 000 012
030: 366 000 312 053 000 127 333 021
040: 272 302 050 000 003 312 021 000
050: 303 016 000 303 053 000



I'm thinking the Altair Clone with its two SIO ports could monitor a serial link to my workstation and look for text-based evidence of an error condition. If it finds it, it'll take some additional action (right now it just sticks itself in a loop at label match:). It'll be the world's coolest dedicated 'grep' machine.
