No, the XD2031 firmware works as disk drive, with files in directories on a 
PC, alternatively from disk images also on the PC. The connection is via 
USB serial.

My mode of operation is as you described, assembling on the PC, load and 
run from the PET. That's why I implemented XD2031. No mechanical drive 
involved.
