cmake .
make

Usage

altair_teletype -l <binary> <offset> ...
  -l <binary> <offset>
    Load the specified binary file at the specified offset
  -i <input device number>
    Set the device number for the I/O device (default: 1)
  -c <control device number>
    Set the device number for the control device (default: 0)
  -2
    Emulate an 88-2SIO I/O board (default: 88-SIO)

Examples:

To load 4K BASIC from a file called 4kbas32.bin using the 88-SIO Serial I/O card:

./altair_teletype -l ~/CLionProjects/lib8080/4kbas32.bin 0x00

To load a file called a0.bin at 0xA000 and a file called f0.bin at 0xF000 using input device 3, control device number 4 and the 88-2SIO Serial I/0 card.

./altair_teletype -2 -i 3 -c 4 -l a0.bin 0xF000 -l f0.bin 0xA000
