FastGraphics4051 tape files are now archived
I have uploaded all the files I recovered from a FastGraphics4051 tape I found in Bob's Collection at Living Computer Museum+Labs in Seattle to my github archive:
Tektronix-4051-4052-4054-Program-Files/FastGraphics4051
Since the original program requires a 4051 with FastGraphics ROM Pack - I also uploaded a couple more subfolders in that directory:
HEX - includes the DATA TEXT files captured with RealTerm replacing all the bytes with a pair of HEX text characters. The data files are 7-bit ASCII FastGraphics format which includes all 32 control characters - which cannot be transferred easily over 7-bit ASCII serial.
BASIC - includes my conversions of all the picture files to a BASIC program including HEX data statements - that can be viewed on any 4051/4052/4054 computer or the 4051 web-based emulator without any ROM PACK - although considerably slower speed than with the ROM Pack.
SCREENSHOTS - this subfolder includes screenshots from running each of the BASIC picture programs on the 4051 web-based emulator.
I also created a README.MD file in that folder with instructions on how to view the picture files with a 4051R12 or 4052R12 Graphics Expansion ROM Pack.

PS - I don't know who "Michael" is in the Grinch picture - but the Tektronix developer of that tape and FastGraphics ROM Pack (Zetopan) likely knows
