Subject: Re: Regaining disc drive memory work space

Hi James,

The Micro User magazine had a couple of techniques for moving programs in
memory from &1900 to &E00.

August 1983 has an article on this kind of problem and contains a program to
add to your exsisting program to move it in memory.

On the letters page of April 1983 and updated on July 1983 there is a single
line program to program a function key to upload the program from &1900 to
&E00, this was done after loading the program and was fine as long as you do
not try to access the DFS after uploading the program. I will get back to
you if I find this one.

I am sure there are other articles and features about this in TMU magazine.
I will put them on the Disc or Tape pages of my web site as I find them.

If you need a copy of either of these articles I could scan and email them
to you, I will try to get round to OCRing them ASAP.

Subject: [BBC-Micro] Regaining disc drive memory work space

When using a disc drive on a BBC micro, Page is moved from &E00 to &1900 to
create memory work space for the disc drive. Is possible  to regain the disc
drive work space once the program has loaded. I.e resetting page back to
&E00. Can anybody give an example of various techniques on how to achieve
this.
