I'm guessing the tape s/w is polling ports to find the terminal.  It's been 
a while since I played with any tape s/w but I seem to recall it waits for 
you to hit a key, right?  So the fix would be to simulate the port by 
returning a value that would look like the usart has empty buffers and an 
un-asserted DSR ("nobody home").

Ideally, the emulator should do this (simulate idle or unconnected device) 
for all ports that might be associated with common devices.  And perhaps 
accesses to any other port could simply be logged but not stop execution (as 
it would not stop a real CPU).  Just return a fixed value (like zero).

I would have expected it to keep the CPU going, at least - did it?  But 
returning an unitialized value may have confused the polling routine.  Try 
this:


//  Ports 372 and 373 were the console USART ports if the console was 
connected
//  via the H8-5's serial I/O port.  Not used.
//  2004.05.01.sp - Checked by tape software, so simulate in idle status.

    case 0372:
        nData = 0;
        break;
    case 0373:
        nData = USART_STATUS_TXE | USART_STATUS_TXRDY;
        break;


Then, down at the end of the routine, to keep it from halting on 
unimplemented inputs entirely (but still log them and display the status 
window):


//  2004.05.01.sp - Continue execution anyway (as a real CPU would)
        nData = 0;
//      Sleep(5000);
//      SetEvent(theApp.m_IPC.hShutdown);


Let me know if that fixes it!

Cheers,
