[Coco] Help with BASIC

[Brett Gordon]

Has anybody created a utility to flash their SDC ROM banks from a
BASIC disk file yet?  -or-  How would one accomplish loading a flat
file into memory from BASIC?

1. Change the flat ROM into a BIN, and use CLOAD
      a. is it possible to squeeze 16k of binary data into a BASIC enviroment?
      b. yuck - this would require people to change their ROM's to BIN's
2. I didn't see any BASIC statements designed to load binary data - is
there one?
3. Rip data from the the lowlevel disk buffers (unlawfully touching BASIC )
4. De-crunch Darren's utility for flashing SDC, and re-write for a generic ROM
5. Bother Darren for his source, then change.
6. forget BASIC, and do the same in ASM - this requires the
bit-fiddling the SDC's flash ( and Darren's already has a new
documented BASIC statement to do this ). Also requires reading the
BASIC filesystem directly.
