 |  Re: Patch for BASIC to make it faster?
OK, thanks for clarification!
Yeah, I really misunderstood the sentence. "Using only RAM below ROM" for me meant we copy the ROM into RAM, and do not use the ROM at all, and no bank switching. (as they are paralell above $8000)
I blame the two beers 
I remember that the RAM has some speed benefits over ROM, but maybe it is valid only in modern PCs (that's why you can set your BIOS settings to copy at the startup the BIOS from EPROM into RAM, and execute it from there).
(and I saw in a test, that C128 BASIC execution was even slower (with the same commands) than our one most pobably due to intensive bank switching.)
