Is there a stand-alone paper tape version of U/W FOCAL V4E which uses EAE?
I have some source code, and might be able to find or generate a binary. Which configuration are you looking for? 16K? 32K? EAE I think is default. I think there are other config options, too.Is there a stand-alone paper tape version of U/W FOCAL V4E which uses EAE?
By paper tape image are you referring to uwf.bn? Should work fine. I looked at the uwf.bn and it only has leader at start and end so nothing should be lost when 8 halts at trailing leader. BIN should only stop when it sees leader. Are you sending 8 bit no parity? Can you load other tapes ok? Some terminal programs can't send binary data correctly. I have never tried Teraterm.Thank you David. It works fine on SIMH, but without a proper ASR 33 I cannot load the paper tape image.
I can load all the paper tape diags using the BIN loader and Teraterm using the binary upload feature.By paper tape image are you referring to uwf.bn? Should work fine.

Good catch, thanks. File was output from PAL copied to PTP:. Way too many details to forget over the years. Didn't actually try to load with BIN and SIMH load ignores the zeros.I found null leader/trailer on both ends of Daves .BN file. You'll want to remove that, rather than send it to the PDP-8. Otherwise it loads some zeroes and stops.
