The file ALS8.HEX is unmodified ALS-8 that uses the serial port on a 3P+S as the default console port (SYSIO). The file "ALS8 for CUTER and SOLOS.hex" is ALS-8 patched to perform console I/O (SYSIO) using CUTER for I/O. This is done through SINP and SOUT calls to CUTER, so whatever the current pseudo-port assignment is in CUTER, that port will be used for console I/O. These same comments apply to SOLOS as well as CUTER. The patched ALS8 file also sets the symbol table address to D700h as if a "STAB D700" command had been issued after starting ALS-8. The file ALS8CUT.ASM contains the source code for the patches made to force SYSIO through CUTER and SOLOS. Either .hex file can be programmed into and executed from EPROM at E000h-FFFFh. Jump to E024h for cold start, jump to E060h to re-enter.
