| Talking of effects; I used to put INC $D020 where those three NOP's are, and a second place as well. Very helpful - with the colours, it was very easy to find out where the files started. And it was possible to see if a file was normal tape or turbo tape ;-) |

Yeah, Turbo250 was pretty darn short.
It lacked the screen-wide credits-message quite some others had, and it makes some nice usage of ROM-calls. (totally worth to check out what Mr.Z did there :)
It aint the first TurboTape compatible loader by far though (which apparently some people still believe?)...
DataBecker (german publisher) even provided a fully documented source for his FastTape (TT compatible) in:
"Das Cassetten Buch zu Commodore 64 und VC-20", 1984.
Mr.Z's TT is what I examined (not ripped :) for Turbo Tape Kernal Rom |

| If I remember it right, Turbo 250 took only 13 rounds in the counter, as most of the tape-turbos were 20. |

| I used to use "Special Tape" (Antisoft?) which was very popular in my hood back in 1985 or something. Turbo 250 was its competitor and it was a matter of taste which one you used.. Did Turbo 250 have any load-effect (such as rastercolors on screen) ?? |

Quote:Turbo 250 @ Codebase Aargh... I was just doing that (to 64TASS, but the idea is identical)!
Well, nothing lost, I did it during some boring course here at the office... ;-)
Acutally, I will continue and upload my version with more labels and explanation. |

| ..the best program ever made....and the cursor should be moved one step further as it was how it occured when the program started,after pressing space when file was found..... |

| There's a rather cumbersome EOR encoding scheme in this file to make the initial routine unreadable. |

The similarity I was referring to is that all turbos shorten the loading time.
And if we involve Warp*25 your argument is completely incorrect. :) |

@Zyron: no, tape turbos do not work in the same way a disk turbo does =) A disk turbo speeds up loading by using more efficient transfer routines...
A tape turbo doesn't really speed up loading per se; the tape still rolls at the same rate. You need to save a program using the turbo to able to load it at "turbo" speed; what it does is that it stores data with higher density, thus reducing loadtimes. As a bonus you also fit more wares on each tape. |
