  • A SAVE routine to reduce Microdrive loading timesHello! Please i'd like to know if there is a SAVE routine written to reduce the zx microdrives loading times.

    I recall reading this in Crash or YS.

    Save your basic file, verify it,
    then save the machine code,verify it.
    repeat until done.

    This must be done without changing drives or loading from another drive.
