+;; Modified Topo soft loader
+;;
+;; Multi-colour bars in the border, aka "Spanish" style Spectrum variant loader.
+;;
+;; This loader uses standard Spectrum ROM timings. In fact it is essentially a CPC version of the
+;; Spectrum ROM loader itself.
+;;
+;;
+;; Loader form on cassette:
+;; Pilot tone (min 256 pulses)
+;; Sync pulse
+;; 1 byte sync byte (on spectrum 0 for header and &ff for data)
+;; n bytes of data (defined by DE register)
+;; 1 byte parity checksum
+;;
+;; Original had the following bugs:
+;; 1. bit 7 of R register had to be 1, otherwise it could change ram/rom configuration while loading
+;; 2. flags were not returned, so you didn't know if the data was read incorrectly or not
+;;
+;; It also had extra code that was unnecessary:
+;; 1. turning cassette motor on/off was complex, when in previous instructions they had turned it on anyway.
+;; 2. code for changing border colour presumably on a read error. but didn't seem to be used.
+;;
+;;
+;; Entry conditions:
+;;
+;; IX = start
+;; DE = length (D must not be &ff)
+;; A = sync byte expected
+;;
+;; Interrupts must be disabled
+;;
+;; Exit Conditions:
+;; Alternative register set is corrupted.
+;;
+;; carry clear - load ok
+;; carry set, zero set - time up
+;; carry set, zero reset - if esc pressed
+;;
+;; Use 2CDT to write Spectrum ROM blocks to a CDT. Note that at this time it will only write a sync byte of &ff.
