I do a lot of fiddling with mine on an 8032. I do recall once knowing either the CBM Wedge code or the 1541 drive firmware about how LOAD "$",8 was different than OPEN "$",8, but I've forgotten what the specific difference is. I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here. I spent a little time reviewing BASIC 4.0 disassemblies and how CATALOG works, but I didn't dig deep enough to get an answer. > The only advantage I can see is that it's cheap. It is that. It works for some basic stuff I do, but I also have a 2031 that I use much more often. -ethan Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-11-06 04:00:02
