RE: 1551 Test Demo

Unfortunately the two wedges seem to be nothing special, just the standard
files distributed with the 1541/1570/1571 demos/test disks allowing the @
and @$ commands for drive access... the VIC20 version only works on drive#8
where as the C64 version seems able to swap to current drive....

by the time the 1581 came out they must have figured the "no one is using a
Vic20 anymore" - how wrong they were.....

Both wedges use kernal calls, so remain very compatible as long as the
kernal jump table is not changed.

Any body know of patch to the V20 wedge to change to current drive rather
than just #8?? An updated version of the C64 version which supports
additional commands (such as "type" is included with my 64HDD zip on my
webpage)
