NAME

       srec_os65v - OS65V Loader file format

DESCRIPTION

       This  format is used by Ohio Scientific OS65V-compatible loaders.  This family of machines includes the OSI C1P, Superboard II, C2, C4, C8,
       and Challenger III, as well as the UK101, and Elektor Junior.

       The file startes with a period '.' (0x2E), to ensure address entry mode.  then a 4-digit hex address, followed by a  slash  '/'	(0X2F)	to
       enter  the  data  entry	mode.	The initial address is always present.	There is no need for an additional address record unless there are
       gaps.

       Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, and is separated by a carriage return character (0x0D) (advance  address).   The
       final return character may be omitted.

       The  data  is  concluded with a period '.' (0x2E) to re-enter address mode.  If an address to start execution is specified, then the last 5
       bytes are nnnnG where nnnn is the 4-digit execution address, and G is the 'Go' command.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example ascii-hex file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000, with execution at 0x1003.  (On a
       6502, this is the opcode for indirect jump to 0x2C6F.)

       1000/48^M65^M6C^M6C^M6F^M2C^M20^M57^M6F^M72^M6C^M64^M0A^M.1010G
