    Load address as ID is bit problem.
    If you want to create backward compatible Basic that can run older programs - if are not machine specific, other Commodore computers have different load address. If it loads Basic program to default location e.g. $0801 and load address is $1000, it will not recognize M65 or C64 mode...
    But it is possible to override.
    If load address does not match, it can run M65 mode as default.
    Because Basic 2 is backward compatible only with lower versions, so only VIC20 uses different address. Later models have higher version.

    I think it will be hard decision for Paul.
    Basic 10 is even not backward compatible with older.
    Request was also to create backward compatible Basic.
    Work on Mega-Basic began - but don't know if for C64 mode only.
    My choice, if it could be my decision, could be use both.
    Finish original Basic 10 and create also backward compatible Mega-Basic with using all extended M65 functions.
    Yes, many people can say why original...was near never used.
    And other thing is to create 3 modes of operation: M65, C65, C64...

    Hello!
    The problem of Basic 10 is that was not finished.
    I found even more problems when I tried to draw Mandelbrot.
    I have available only commonly known 911001 ROM. On this forum was posted about ROM from november/december 1991. It was not (yet) shared. But it can be also not fixed problem.
    Please - always remember: C65 was never finished.
