Would a good place to start experimenting be the dissasembily of the 
LOADM command at $CFC1, after all that essentially does what you need, 
opens a file, reads it into memory at a set address.

It's a real shame that Tandy didn't do things like make a jump table of 
useful routines, such as open/read/write/close files, it's almost like 
they didn't want people accessing the disks from assembler.

Cheers.
