What is V-1541 designed to do?
First, before we talk about what V-1541 cannot do, let's discuss briefly what it was designed to do. V-1541 is a simple program that replaces LOAD and SAVE.  It will still process these commands on standard disk device numbers in the same way.  The only difference is that if you signal to load via device # 2 (the RS-232 port), the LOAD or SAVE will operate on the Internet modem that you have plugged-into your user port.

RS-232 is device #2 by default, but the KERNAL does not allow LOAD and SAVE to work with it in the same way as it does for disks on devices 8-11.  It was then necessary to write a special program to intercept the LOAD and SAVE operations and convert the request to commands known to CommodoreServer.com (the commands are part of the CommodoreServer Internet Protocol, or CSIP - you can find details on CSIP in another blog entry).

Since the KERNAL does not natively support LOAD"FILE",2, V-1541 was born.  Like any memory-resident loader, there are some limitations on how it may operate.
