EDIT: wasnt the 8 for the disk drive and the 1 meant load at a specified addy provided by the program (not the standard addy it would default to if it was BASIC or something).. been a while.
You are totally right, I am sorry. 8 is first floppy, 9 second floppy etc, 1 is for the datasette. *
Must have been more than a week since I played Zaxxon from datasette (the cool guys run it from floppy nowadays)
