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 PRG mode
.U      ; PRG mode
.U addr ; PRG mode with Override

were addr is a valid 16-bit hexadecimal address.

Invocation of wAxfer starts the wAxfer 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

  • Terminal mode adds incoming data to the keyboard buffer
  • BASIC PRG mode puts in the incoming program in the current BASIC stage
  • PRG mode reads a PRG file's two-byte header, and places the following data starting at that location
  • PRG mode with Override ignores the two-byte header, and stores the data starting at the specified address

End Terminal mode with STOP/RESTORE.

End PRG modes by pressing STOP.
