Plug In: wAxfer - Chysn/VIC20-wAx2 GitHub Wiki

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 ; SEQ 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. Use this if you want to control the VIC-20 from the PC.
  • In BASIC mode wAxfer stores the incoming program in the current BASIC stage. Use this if you want to send a BASIC program from the PC.
  • In PRG mode wAxfer reads the first two bytes of data, and stores the following data starting at that address. Use this if you want to send a machine language PRG file from the PC.
  • In SEQ mode wAxfer will store all of the data it receives, starting at the specified address. Use this if you want to send a SEQ file (or other raw data file) from the PC.

End Terminal mode with STOP/RESTORE.

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