My Orton 3C produces SRecords

[Peter Onion]

My Orton 3C has produced its first Motorola SRecord :-)  Now to add  Block Save and Load features to my Hex monitor.

The serial interface simply bit-banged at 4800 baud on a couple of i/o port bits.  While the original method that uses A15 and Interrupt request uses very minimal hardware I think it makes the software overly complicated.

I love how much you're able to get out of the Orton 3C. It's certainly much more than I'd ever imagined.

Just curious though why you went with SRecords instead of Intel Hex files?

I find the order of the fields is slightly easier to parse in SRecords records because the
"type" field comes right at the start of the line, not part way through after the length
and address fields.
