Hallo allemaal,


I'm playing with an idea. Both my 1541IDE projects are going fine; the D64-
image version and the 16 MB with subdirectories. The ide is to extend the 
D64 version by maintaining the floppy drive. 

My D64 version doesn't need any GCR en/decoding and therefore doesn't need 
the area $01BB-$01FF. This enabled me for using this area for my own 
purposes. It also enabled my to make a bigger stack. Originally the stack 
starts at $0145. Why here and why not $01B0 for example? Is the area $0146-
$01BA used by other things I don't know of?

My idea was to move this GCR area to $0800, in the RAM I piggybacked on top 
of the  original one. As there are only two variables used to address this 
area, A_0100 and A_01BB, I thought this was a quick win by letting them 
point to $0800 and $08BB. But I was wrong: 23,READ ERROR,18,00 speaks for 
it self. I must have missed something but where?

Info is very welcome !!!
