I often have the need to simulate a paper tape reader and send ascii from a terminal to some hardware using “send file” as if typing (in hex or octal). For example, send code to a little boot loader or resident monitor or data to an eprom programmer
Before I start yet another project, does anyone have a utility that:
Reads an intel hex file
Extracts data only from the data field
Parses out the two digit ascii hex, optionally converting to three digit ascii octal
Writes output as a space delimited ascii stream of the data
Ideally breaks the output into multiple files of a target size or at original address breaks
I am sure something close to this must already exist but I can’t find it online from the usual suspects
Thanks
