Below is a repeat of a previous message. Some folks on the net
have wondered what the ZAMTOR hex code was that was posted earlier
on the net. Well, here is a description.
All ZAMTOR users should be aware that rel 1.00 and 1.01 have
serious bugs and should not be used. rel 1.02 and 1.03 both
work fine (1.03 has some additional features over 1.02)

Preliminary documentation and firmware are available for a stand-alone
Z80 AMTOR system. The "Z-AMTOR" system operates with a home-brew
(PC ready about 83.10.15) 4 MHz Z80 system and works with Baudot
terminals at 45, 50, and 74 bps as well as ASCII terminals at 110
and 300 bps. This system runs modes A, B, S (selective B) and L
(monitor mode A communicaitons). It is, if I say so myself, one
of the best implementations of AMTOR available. It has been in
the programming stage for over a year.
Anyone SERIOUSLY interested in building such a system is invited to
send a $0.71, 9" x 12" SASE and a 250 nS 2764 EPROM to:

I will forward a copy of the documentation and program your EPROM.
Be sure the stamps are glued onto the envelope. Don't send
money, I'll just pocket it and claim I never got your letter!
NOTE: don't send an SASE without an EPROM. If you do, I'll return
your envelope without stuffing it. If you don't send an EPROM you
probably are not serious about building a system. I am looking for
people to help me test the code, not increase my xeroxing costs!
If you are not totally passionate about AMTOR but would like to get
the documentation, way till later this year; it will appear in one
of the major ham mags.

A few weeks ago someone transmitted a 'very long' code called ZAMTOR hex code. What is this stuff used for? -- Lee Dickey (ljdickey@watmath.UUCP) ...!allegra!watmath!ljdickey ...!ucbvax/decvax!watmath!ljdickey University of Waterloo
