This page is about "IDIOT", a ROM monitor software for Lee Hart's COSMAC 1802 "Membership Card". This links to other software for that card. This link is to the home Web page for the "Membership Card". Go there for the status of the 1802 kit.
Lee Hart wrote a ROM monitor for the 1802, called "IDIOT", in 1982 for his BASYS product. Lee provided the code to the cosmacelf Yahoo group archive. In 2010, I grabbed a copy and re-sourced it into ASM code compatible with the A18 cross assembler. Also I extracted a document from his use of the monitor in his Tiny BASIC product, also originally written for the BASYS.
Issues: However, I've not fully adapted it to the "Membership Card" at this time. Also I've not done a byte/byte check to see if MY assembled code matches the old PRN listing. Finally, I've not changed any IN or OUT locations to match the "Membership Card". - Herb Johnson
Here's a link to the ZIP file for the "current" version of the IDIOT monitor for the 1802.
