Must be your copy, zmodem works just fine on my system!

There are (at least) 3 solutions -

1. You can buy a CMD hard drive that plugs into your 64/128 and is accessed
like a "normal" drive.

2. You can attach a WD hard disk controller card to your 64/128, write an
O.S. for it, and access a drive (haven't heard of anybody actually
succeeding with this yet).

3. Get 64NET, which allows you to put a PC into server mode, and allows the
64/128 to load and save to the PC's hard disk.

$1c01 is the BASIC load address of the C128 - the programs you are looking
at were written on/for a 128.  Load the program ,8 and you should have no
problems (unless it is a 128 specific program!)
