   I'm creating an article and video about various ways to load and save   
   memory on the VIC-20.  I wrote the assembly code that I posted a while   
   ago and was sure it worked previously.  As it turned out there was   
   nothing significantly wrong with the code, it was purely a testing   
   issue.  I can post the URLs to the article/video once finished if   
   you're interested?   
      
   Best wishes
