Dear BSDOS users,

recently, I have made a ZXDB downloader, where using the ESP-01 wifi module you can download and run TAP files in BSDOS and esxDOS as well. Very convenient way of handling games for gaming parties.

Browsing files, I have run upon several games, which do 128k paging using POKE 23388 in BASIC. We all know, that this POKE works under 128k ROM only. But BSDOS is using BSROM, which is basically 48k ROM not supporting paging with POKE 23388.

I contacted Busy, who was so kind and created this useful patch. Now, if there is a POKE 23388 in BASIC, also OUT 32765 is carried out. It means that you do not have to overwrite BASIC loaders, and replace POKEs 233888 with OUTs 32765 anymore.

The patch cna be switched on and off, if needed. ON= CONTINUE %F06. OFF= CONTINUE %F07.

Big thanks to Busy. Enjoy this patch.
