This page provides an index to the Microtan software files saved on this site.
The .wav files are MT65 "FAST" audio files.
They were recorded in mono, 22050 Hz 32 bit floating point sampling.
Applications used for recording and playback are Linux (Ubuntu) Sound Recorder or Windows Audacity applications.
The .bin files are binary files. They were captured using XMODEM and therefore the second and first byte of each file
contains the source/destination address of the file on the Microtan 65 system.

LIFE
The first program I ever ran on my MT65 and is taken from Chapter 7 of the Microtan 65 Handbook. Code is stored from $B0 to $1BB and is initiated with "GB0" command. LIFE.wav
SHOOTDOWN
The second program I ran on my MT65 taken from Chapter 7 of the Microtan 65 Handbook.
A different version is here where the code is stored from $400 to $4D3 and is initiated with "G400" command (assumes full keyboard). SHTDN2.wav
MEMORY TEST
A useful utility to test RAM. Code is stored from $60 to $1A5 and is initiated with "G60" command.
Enter start and finish pages of memory to test eg, for TANEX memory, scan from Page 2 to Page 1F.
When scanning pages 2 and 3 (the display memory) the effect can be seen on the screen.
If an error is encountered the program will stop and display the location where the error occured with both the Write and Read values.
The user may then enter one of the following commands:
1 : continue program and increment the next write/read value
2 : continue program and test the next memory location
Various routines (Initialise, Read / Write to Sound Chip Registers)and a basic
user interface for writing data to the waveform generator registers.
Code is stored from $1A60 to $1ACF. SNDBD.wav Source Code (.PDF)
A data transfer program using an MT65 to PC/Laptop serial interface. An alternative method to audio tapes for loading and saving files.
Requires Tanex Serial Option - refer to the PC Linking notes below.
Two versions are available.
XMOD1A may be used for transferring programs/data that is located within the $400-$1ACF memory of a 'Micron' type system.
XMODA2 may be used for transferring programs/data that is located within the $400-$A1CF memory of a 'Microtan-R' or a Microtan with a full complement of User RAM.
XMOD1A Code is stored from $1AD0 to $1FFF and is initiated with "G1AD0" command. XMOD1A.wav
XMODA2 Code is stored from $A2D0 to $A7FF and is initiated with "GA2D0" command. XMODA2.wav
TTLTX
A quick method of transferring a block of code in memory from one Microtan to another using their serial interfaces.
Requires Tanex Serial Option.
TTLTX Code is stored from $1AD0 to $1C63 and is initiated with "1AD0" command. Program notes
are included in the Assembler Source Code PDF document below. TTLTX.wav Assembler Source Code (.PDF)
DISK CHECK
TANDOS 65 Disk Checking Program. Checks each sector on a TANDOS 65 disk can be read
and tracks the linkages between them. Identifies any broken link.
DSKCHK Code is stored from $400 to $650 and is initiated with "G400" command. DSKCHK.wav Assembler Source Code (.WAV) Assembler Source Code (.PDF)
TANDOS
The files below are those contained on the TANDOS MASTER Disk. Right-Click on the links to download/save the files on your device. Code is stored as per table below.
The transfer address is where the processor will jump to in order to execute the program when loaded from disk.
