Here's a list of the MSX system variables: map.tni.nl/resources/msxsystemvars.php.

If I remember correctly, there must be some space for hooks somewhere in the area below $FFFF. The first code you provide would set these to RET.

It's good fun to play around with hooks. You have 5 bytes available @ a hook, so you could do a jump to a custom routine.

You will more likely find the answers here:

The area of 0xF1C9 - 0xF380 is reserved for the diskrom.

Great guys, thanks a lot...

Thanks, it really didn't make any sense at all
