I'm creating an article and video about various ways to load and save
memory on the VIC-20.  I wrote the assembly code that I posted a while
ago and was sure it worked previously.  As it turned out there was
nothing significantly wrong with the code, it was purely a testing
issue.  I can post the URLs to the article/video once finished if
you're interested?

Best wishes
