I found the port address that is causing the problem. According to the log
file, it's I/O address 0373 (251 or 0xFB),  the code says it's related to
the console being connected via the H8-5 card:

Log File:  "***Port 373 is not implemented.***"

Code:
// 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.

case 0372:

// (fall through)

case 0373:

bNotImplemented = TRUE;

break;

Anyone have any ideas on what we can do so that the majority of the Tapes
will run on the emulator? Simply commenting out the bNotImplemented Line so
that the output goes no where didn't seem to help.
