    Isn't that what I'm doing, "virtually" typing the programs througn the 
serial port? I'm setting the Sol input to serial (SET I=1), then sending the 
ENT as an ASCII file from another computer to the Sol's serial port.

Other than that, a couple of RAM problems (dirty DIP switch and a defective 74LS157 multiplexer) were all that I had to fix.
