[Coco] DLOAD

[Aaron Banerjee]

I couldn't help but notice this thread.  Out of curiosity, has anyone,
anywhere out there besides me ever actually used DLOAD in a work (ok,
let's include school, or useful home purpose) environment?

I used it to download a program from a PC to recharge various types of
batteries (the cassette port -- the relay actually -- was already being
used to control the charging current).
