- If I recall it right:
-
- load "name",8,1 just does a load with respect to the start (load) address
- stored in the file itself. You could even load BASIC text with ,8,1 but
- this could rise a problem when loading BASIC files written on a CBM 3032
- for example since the memory layout on these machines was a bit different.
- Text area starts at 0x0400 on those machines. On the VC64 it was 0x0800.
- (yes I know that these layout could be changed on the 64... ;-) )
-
- ,8,1 was typically used for autostart programs like games etc. !
