Re: [N8VEM-S100:7139] Small (<1K) 8080 Monitor Source Code?

John,

I went through this same issue when I was restoring my first Imsai.

I would suggest that you get source that does not require use of the

stack. If your memory card(s) are not working the monitor will not

run. A very basic monitor that has limited functionality could be in order.

Something that can read/write ports, memory dump, loader, etc.

I know I wasted many hours/days due to the stack issue.

Monitors will be specific to the type of serial console you are using.

Be mindful of this. My debug monitor was written for the 8251 and

included the initialization code and hard coded port number (Imsai SIO).

Dave Dunfield has two 8080 monitors you can use. His MON85 is the one I used when I was restoring my IMSAI and it has an Intel HEX loader. I haven’t looked at it recently, but I think it compiles to less than 1k.

Subject: [N8VEM-S100:7131] Small (<1K) 8080 Monitor Source Code?

Does anyone have source code for a small, less than 1K, monitor for the 8080? I am restoring my Altair and want to use one of the old cards that only takes 1K eproms. Something with a cassette or xmodem interface would be very nice. I looked at the 8080 monitor for the 8080 board, but it is way too big and has way more in it than I need. If no one has a smaller one, I'll have to rip that one apart.
Anything under 1K would be appreciated!
