Read/Write files from BASIC

  SYS4096

   Still waiting for my unit to arrive ...

   In the meantime, I wonder if it would be possible to enter some BASIC
   program code that creates files and writes to and/or reads from them.

   May I save program code by the SAVE and LOAD commands?

   Are there blank disks mapped to the virtual floppy drives 8 and 9?

   Regards.

   That is a yes, you will have a blank disk generated on access, fully
   automatically, on the root of whatever USB thumb stick you have inserted
   at the time. Only drive 8, and writable only, if a writable file system
   via USB is present.

   So you can save, load, and save again.

   Ok, I had'nt realized the existence of the BASIC tutorial yet ... it
   basically covers my concerns.

   Regards.

   Thank you Jammet for confirming ;-)
