RE: [techtoolslist] Uploading binary images from Fluke 9010a

Well, now that I think about it. If you save the file in Hex format it
should be OK. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the binaries will
save as "Source" format.

http://rossiters.com/games/sig-a.h - side A
http://rossiters.com/games/sig-b.h - side B

So far the two suggestions I have for FIDE are

1) Create an option to Open and *CLOSE* the COM Port.
   Makes it easy to switch between programs.
2) Create an option to send files as HEX. (without compiling)

FIDE is pretty awesome so far.

According to this manual I can at least make a backup copy of the tape onto
other tapes. So, if anyone has a clock module and the async option
installed - but no tape let me know. I have lots of cassettes.
