LOAD via USB (DS-L)
The USB loader can be started with DS-L from any instance (in version 0.9 only for ZX81).
The loader message appears
with its version and the name
of the desired program can be
typed in. In the current release
the loader works only for files
in the root system and 8.3
format file names (no LFN
support in this release).
The loading speed is about
150kByte / second and due to
technical reasons in FAST
mode only. So the screen may
flicker shortly when loading
data or programs. The USB
flash medium should be
formatted with FAT32 and file
names my entered with chars,
digits and the point separator
for file names only.
Even long programs should be loaded instantly or at least with a delay of a few hundred
milliseconds only because programs normally should be smaller than 16kByte. So loading will
be finished in pretty less than a second. The very first acces on a new inserted USB flash
medium/drive may have a bit more latency.
If the requested file could not be found the error code 65535 will appear (maybe just a typo).
If the USB medium/drive is not inserted or maybe wrong formatted, the error code 65534 is
displayed. The loading can be aborted by pressing DS-L again in the enter mode. The
displayed error has to be confirmed by pressing any key.
If the instance 0 is called after loading data in another instance there may be displayed some
status information like the loaded filesize.
