  • FCW - FRAM Config Write: Performs POKE"2C000","Config String"
  • FCR$ - FRAM Config Read: Performs PEEK$("2C000",32)
  • Perhaps some functions for POKEing ROM images into memory
Suggestions?

It seems to me that a function to swap F-blocks without having to enter a 32 nibble string would be useful. Possibly support for something like the 41CL's module catalog for selecting entry by name, or it might even be possible to just scan the F-blocks for the appropriate LEX/ROM name and not need to store a catalog.

It also sounds like an F-block catalog function could be useful.

Also a function to zero out F-blocks so you don't need to move a jumper to accomplish it, with a suitable password or prompted Y/N to prevent accidental overwrites.

Maybe an F-block copy function.

I've wanted to write some Saturn assembly for fun, I'll have to start re-reading the IDS documentation again.
