Re: Block save / load
I have at the moment no means to test it (my dev environment is broken), but the following program should be able to fully load 1008 bytes into memory (from 0x4000 to 0x4400 - 16 bytes)... The block to be load should be saved with standard routines and should be equal or bigger than 1008 bytes (if b...

Re: Block save / load
This is an interesting thread. Is a long time that I was thinking that in order to fully (at least to the maximum extent) utilize the 1K memory it would be good to have a extremely small piece of code that (also reusing the standard load routines) could load programs. It means that first you would l...
