On: How many Commodore 64 computers were really sold? ...

[eCa]

Yes.. and there was a very similar command (,8,0 maybe?) that instead formatted the disk. In my case, the disk contained several of my first programs.

Several years later, not having learned my lesson, I tried out the fdisk command on my win98 machine. It apparently worked as advertised.

[Syssiphus → eCa]

,8,0 would load from device 8 to memory location 2048. I think formatting was done with the OPEN command.

[KC8ZKF → Syssiphus]

Yeah. You would use 8,0 for BASIC source, and 8,1 for assembly. I think.

[cstuder → KC8ZKF]

In fact you could skip the ,0 part and just type LOAD "FILENAME",8 for BASIC applications.

Thanks! It's easy to see a ten year old non-native English speaker make that mistake..
