Line 2: {{Not confuse\|Mostek hex format}} {{Use dmy dates\|date=July 2020\|cs1-dates=y}} {{Use list-defined references\|date=December 2021}} The '''MOS Technology file format''' is a [[file format]] that conveys binary information in [[ASCII]] text form. == History == The [[KIM-1]] [[single-board computer]] specified a [[KIM-1#Tape format\|file format for magnetic tape]] and a format for paper tape. The paper tape format was adapted slightly and has been used to interchange files for computers based on the [[MOS Technology]] [[MOS Technology 6502\|6502]] microprocessor.<ref name="Feichtinger_1987"/> The open-source Srecord package simplified this tape format by eliminating the {{char\|<NUL>}} and {{char\|XOFF}} characters.<ref name="Miller_2014"/> Line 19 ⟶ 20: * [[Motorola S-record hex format]] * [[Tektronix hex format]] * [[Texas Instruments TI-TXT]]<!-- red link with possibilities --> (TI Text)<!-- another hex file format --> == References == {{Reflist\|refs= <ref name="Miller_2014">{{cite web \|title=srec_mos_tech − MOS Technology file format \|author-first=Peter \|author-last=Miller \|date=2014 \|orig-date=1998 \|version=Version 1.64 \|url=~~http~~https://srecord.sourceforge.net/man/man5/srec_mos_tech.html \|access-date=2020-07-31 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200731132547/http://srecord.sourceforge.net/man/man5/srec_mos_tech.html \|archive-date=2020-07-31}}</ref> <ref name="MOS_1976">{{cite book \|title=KIM-1 − Microcomputer Module − User Manual \|chapter=Appendix F − Paper Tape Format \|date=August 1976 \|edition=2 \|publisher=[[MOS Technology]] \|___location=Norristown, Pasadena, USA \|id=Publications Number 6500-15B \|pages=F-1 − F-2 \|chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/KIM-1_Users_Manual/page/n98/mode/1up \|access-date=2020-07-31}} [https://archive.org/download/KIM-1_Users_Manual/KIM-1_Users_Manual_text.pdf][https://web.archive.org/web/20200726160056/http://users.telenet.be/kim1-6502/6502/usrman.html#F]</ref> <ref name="Feichtinger_1987">{{cite book \|author-first=Herwig \|author-last=Feichtinger \|title=Arbeitsbuch Mikrocomputer \|trans-title=Microcomputer work book \|chapter=1.8.5.
