seriously, thats like releasing a rock'n'roll album recorded on tape and in
mono ;=D

well, but in what way does that rule out any irq-loader?! just for curiousity,
my next demo will load perfectly fine from 1541,1571,1581,CMD HD,RAMLINK
(did i forget anything?) and still leave the kernal routines alone.

tell me, how are you going to do that with kernal crap? =)

hehe well ;=D

its true however that noone seriously uses a c64 w/o atleast some fastload
cartridge...thats why i said, its a good thing for TOOLS. (and even then for
some stuff, you will _need_ a custom loader anyway) - and anything else just
looks utterly lame when it drops to kernal load these days.

however... thats not quite related to cc65 anyway ;=D
