Programming:Read/Write a file quickly byte-by-byte

Routine by ikonsgr

;;This is an example of
;;Read/Write a file Byte by Byte
;;Using firmware, BUT MUCH FASTER!
;;File must have header,named "test.bin" 
;;And don't be more than 10K.
;;Use MAXAM to assemble
;;load"Fastcopy",&4000:call &4000 to run
