[Coco] CoCo amateur radio net tonight

[Little John]

Hey,
Do you guys remember the experiment in the early 80's whereas shortwave was 
used to transmit computer software? Basically, a custom interpreter was 
created that I remember ran on the ZX81, Atari's, TI's, TRS-80's etc. The 
software was then transmitted via shortwave and you either recorded (this 
was actually necessary) or had the output of the receiver fed into the 
device for the computer that loaded the program (recording the signal was 
the only sure way to get a good "load"). The software would run on any of 
the machines for which the custom interpreter existed. I don't think any 
super software was ever written (since such a system is limited by the 
weakest link (computer system supported)) - but it was still a neat 
experiment :)
