srec_spectrum - Spectrum file format DESCRIPTION
In this format, bytes are recorded as ASCII code with binary digits represented by 1s and 0s. Each byte is preceded by a decimal address. The file ends with a Control-C character (0x03). Size Multiplier In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 14 times when represented with this format (or 15 times on DOS or Windows). EXAMPLE
Here is an example Spectrum file. It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x0. ^B 0000 01001000 0001 01100101 0002 01101100 0003 01101100 0004 01101111 0005 00101100 0006 00100000 0007 01010111 0008 01101111 0009 01110010 0010 01101100 0011 01100100 0012 00100001 0013 00001010 ^C COPYRIGHT

srec_fairchild - Fairchild Fairbug file format DESCRIPTION
The Fairchild Fairbug format has 8-byte records. A file begins with an address record and ends with an end-of-file record. There are three record types in this file format. Address records are of the form +--+------+ |S | nnnn | indicating the address for the following data records. +--+------+ Data records are of the form +--+------------------+---+ |X | ffffffffffffffff | c | Each data record begins with an X and always contains+8-data-bytes.--The-ff+characters are hexadecimal byte values (8 bytes). Each data byte is represented by 2 hexadecimal characters. The c character is a hex digit being the the nibble-sum of the data bytes. A 1-digit hexadecimal checksum follows the data in each data record. The checksum represents, in hexadecimal notation, the sum of the binary equiva- lents of the 16 digits in the record; the half carry from the fourth bit is ignored. The programmer ignores any character (except for address characters and the asterisk character, which terminates the data transfer) between a checksum and the start character of the next data record. This space can be used for comments. The end-of-file record has the form +--+ |* | The last record consists of an asterisk only, which indicates the end-of file. Size Multiplier In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 2.4 times when represented with this format. EXAMPLE
Here is an example Fairchild Fairbug file. It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000. Notice how the last record is padded with 0xFF bytes. S1000 X48656C6C6F2C2057C X6F726C64210AFFFF3 * COPYRIGHT
