A new downloader

(1 / 1)


This is specifically to 6502 programmers. I have released a new blue box
downloader (the vax end) that will accept any file type that the DIO/IMI
will accept, including .VLDA. This downloader also allows for a third
parameter that is an address to which to download. For example, the
blue box command for a download might be:

	{ filename 10000 10FFF 8000 } vlda load

which would download the data in the file from hex 10000 to 10FFF to
memory addresses 8000 to 8FFF. This effectively does a block move
of the raw data, it doesn't relocate any symbolic addresses. You
may find this useful when downloading different banks for the FC.
