Re: Fastloaders?
That's superb. Have you hit any reliability problems on duplication at that speed?
I guess for the fast load part of this puzzle, I have several problems to resolve - getting my program fully into memory to then save it out using a fastload routine. Then creating a loader capable to bringing it back in. I guess this is not going to be practical with WimBasic?

Re: Fastloaders?
No duplication tests done, so I wouldn't know about reliability.
WimBasic holds the loader. Being 8K in size, it is a pretty heavy solution to load WimBasic from tape first, in order to benefit from fast loading your program.
Only if your program is written in WimBasic, then this scenario could be useful.
But, the sources of the load- and save- routines are available for you to look into and use, so you could maybe combine with your own solution.
