Is it supposed to beep so much? #43

The videos don't show that, because the lines sent by ADTPro to the Apple 2 are near or over the maximum Apple 2 length of 255 (or 256) characters, it makes the Apple beep over and over and over and over and over again.

This sounds like an error message. And sometimes the lines are so long that they get terminated, and thus the data isn't entered. This may be due to the serial connection dropping a carriage return.

It would be nice to rebuild the text string to send to not send more than 6 lines (240 chars) of hex at one time, and so eliminate the beeping.

My mistake. I had booted ProDOS before bootstrapping, so my Apple wasn't fast enough to keep up, and was dropping linefeeds (and other characters).
