2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Is a monitor in machine language

MONITOR TAPE: A cassette tape which allows you to: • Examine or change memory using a formatted hex display • Save areas of memory to cassette in binary (a "CSAVEM") • Download/upload data or programs to a host system • Move the video display page throughout RAM • Send or receive RS-232 at up to 9800 baud • Investigate and activate features of your computer, such as hi-res graphics or machine language music • Use your color computer as an intelligent peripheral for another computer, a color display or a 6809 program development tool

The monitor hex to commands in all, and is relocatable and re-entrant. CBUGTape Price: $29.95.

MONITOR ROM: The same program as above, supplied in 2718 EPROM. This allows you to use the entire RAM space. And you don't need to re-load the monitor each time you use it. The EPROM plugs into the Extended Basic ROM Socket or a modified ROM PACK.
