wAxfer enables high-speed Bluetooth transfer from a PC to your VIC-20, or terminal control of the VIC-20.

This plug-in requires a wAxfer user port device.

Installation
.P "WA"

Usage
.U T    ; Terminal mode
.U B    ; BASIC mode
.U      ; PRG mode
.U addr ; Data mode

where addr is a valid 16-bit hexadecimal address.

Invocation of wAxfer starts its IRQ process and starts listening for data on the user port. When data is received, it can be handled in four ways, depending on the option used

  • In Terminal mode wAxfer adds incoming data to the keyboard buffer
  • In BASIC mode wAxfer puts in the incoming program in the current BASIC stage
  • In PRG mode wAxfer reads a PRG file's two-byte header, and places the following data starting at that address
  • In Data mode wAxfer will store all of the data it receives, starting at the specified address

End Terminal mode with STOP/RESTORE.

End other modes by pressing STOP, or by terminating the transfer at the PC.
