Can't believe stuff like that was lurking in the Spectrum's ROM for quarter of a century and I never knew it was there...

I remember finding 1300 myself. If you move the address around a bit you can get different groovy border colours. Gravy's one was new to me though.

Ah the computers of yesterday crashed in such interesting and color clashing ways... now all we have is the BSOD. No progress at all. :wink:

Why's it do that? It looks like it's loading data off a tape, but it obviously isn't.

It jumps into the middle of the data transport part of the SAVE routine. The registers happen to be set up in such a way that the data it's saving is the ROM. The value of the A register is such that you get the odd border colour.
