Write BIN file to DSK

[SkulleateR]

Ok, I'm doing some testing here in ASM but I cannot write a BIN file to DSK it seems ....


The code is very simple :

Code Select Expand


org &4000
ld a,99
ld (&4FFF),a
ret



So, if I assemble it, everythings fine, I can also call it from basic and execute it, but I cannot write the bin file on the DSK ... what I tried :


1.) put a WRITE"B:TEST.BIN" in the asm code
2.) assemble it and in basic do a SAVE"B:TEST.BIN",B,&4000


Now if I try to load it from disk it ALWAYS gives me "Memory Full" Error Help ...

Yes, you have to tell Basic first to make space for your binary by typing
MEMORY &3FFF
(3FFF being destination of bin - 1)

But I just realized that your problem occurs when saving the bin. And that's because you have to specify the size of your program. In your case, I guess it's 6 bytes, so:
SAVE"B:TEST.BIN",B,&4000,6

(The "memory" bit is what you will need when loading...)

Thx, got nearly no sleep for 3 days now, guess my brain already begins to melt
