BBC using serial HostFS Serial Tube is the Tube protocol implemented over a single I/O channel such as a single serial or parallel port or even a single Tube port. As with sending data and commands over the same channel the two have to be distinguished. Serial Tube does this by escaping commands from the data stream.

HostFS is the 6502 Serial Tube Client configured as a remote filing system client. The filing system is selected with *HOSTFS. By default, TubeHost expects the client to be using 4800 baud, 8N1 (8bit 1stop 0parity), so use *FX7,6, *FX8,6 or *Configure Baud 6, *Configure Data 5 at the BBC/Master end. The transmission is actually four times the configured speed, so 19,200.
