Boot Altair-Duino 680 without Front Panel

[Charles Wall]

Is there a way to load the firmware in a Due and boot without the front panel switches? In other words, run at least BASIC on the Due alone?

[Chris Davis]

The Due will detect whether the front panel switches are present or not.  If not it will start in the 680 monitor.  From there you can load the paper tape version of BASIC (load one of the S19 files using the monitor "L" command): https://deramp.com/downloads/altair/software/altair_680/BASIC/
