== 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 6502]] microprocessor.
The open-source Srecord package simplified this tape format by eliminating the {{char|<NUL>}} and {{char|XOFF}} characters. <ref>http://srecord.sourceforge.net/man/man5/srec_mos_tech.html srecord: srec_mos_tech − MOS Technology file format</ref>▼

Line 8 ⟶ 10:
The last record on the paper tape is empty (its length field is <tt>0000</tt>), with the starting address field representing the total number of data bytes contained in the transmission. The file ends with a {{char|XOFF}}. <ref>https://archive.org/details/KIM-1_Users_Manual/page/n98/mode/1up KIM-1 Users Manual</ref>
