 ; might support other DOSes someday... Or I could write my own xex
 ; file loader (rather not).
 
+; SDX 4.41 manual says: XIO 40,#IOCB,4,X,"Dd:[path]fname.ext" where
+; X=0 for load and execute (X=128 is load only, we don't want that).
+; manual also says it works the same way in Sparta 3.2.
+
+; MyDOS 4.50 technical manual says XIO 39 and 40 are identical, and
+; that AUX1 should be 4 to load & execute the program (AUX2 doesn't
+; do anything). MyDOS 4.30 only documents 39, but I don't care about
+; versions older than 4.50.
+
+; So for all 3 DOSes, XIO 40,#x,4,0,"filename" works... XXX: except it
+; doesn't, quite. MyDOS and Sparta 3.2 can load & run both dla.xex and
+; dla2csv.xex. SDX 4.42 will load & run dla2csv.xex, but fails with
+; error 150 for dla.xex (error 150 is "path not found", no idea what's
+; going on here). This autorun.sys only has to work on MyDOS, which
+; it does...
+
+; Eventually I should send the cc65 devs a patch to implement exec()
+; on MyDOS and Sparta.
