The MOS hexTechnology 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 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>
