Hi Guys, Great research work.
I know Fred Nachbaur did custom versions of Hot-Z, as he sent me the Hot-Z manual back in the 80's with his custom notes and handwriting on it to mention custom Hi-Z version etc. - may explain a few things..?

.. the mists of time surround you...

The manual you scanned was greatly appreciated.

Without it I would not have used the program at all.

Sadly Fred Nachbaur's site has been taken down. Only the HTML is preserved at Web Archive. :cry:

I have downloaded the ZIP file at home. I'll upload a like here in this thread.

I've packed a folder which I think contain the same as the previous ZIP file.

Thanks! :D

After I opened the zippered folder and went deeper into the folder, I noticed that one Hot-ZII 16K file was corrupted. I see what I can do about that corrupted file. I believe that I have one on my cassette. I can try to upload clean one here if I can.

As Hot Z gave the opportunity to modify the program to your own needs, the files in the ZIP is someone's personal modification.

Wow Paul :D

Interesting. I assume your ROMs are for the 8k - 16k area.

A dump of that would be great.
