It really is time I dug out my EPROM programmer and updated my ZXPand so I can try this... :D

Hello Sir Morris,

ZXPand-Commander seem very usefull. Can't use it yet, because don't have the Card at the moment but i've prepared the SD...

I've severals .P files with a .TXT files for differents notes concerning the .P file...

I think it'll be nice if ZXpand-Commander can "just read and display" the .TXT file on screen and navigate Up/Down to read large files...

:D

Otherwise, obliged to remove the SD... read the .txt file on note pad... replug the SD in ZXPand... ;p

Like the ZXpand itself. One thing You'll have to remember, is to use proper file-names (can be annoying while having more files).
You have to make the names shorter (8 letters only) and do not use signs like "-" or "_" and so on. (Sh*t, they look like emoticons now but I hope You know what I mean).

The problem is - ZXpand will not load files with "illegals" signs.

Use EO-X, available here at the forum. On the hardware tab you must select ZXpand, 32K and enable RAM at 8K on the advanced options.

Yes, he's a good coder (and works in phases: "lazy/diligent", just like me :) ).

Well, that's a great news, I will test it in some time (pretty busy now).

Thx for You effort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
