Question Loader Protocol: Command 09
I looked quickly at existing open source loaders, and I noticed that all of them use constant strings to erase data. What I have found is gathered at http://www.astro73.com/wiki/IFI_Load...ol#Sample_data.

On that page, it's evident that the most common data (for OSS apps) is:
Code:
E0 00 08 00 00
E0 00 40 00 00
However, if you look at data from the official loaders (gathered using sysinternal's portmon), it's evident that this is not the only set of data, at least for EDU and Vex controllers.

Does anyone have any insights into this? Any additional data points? I have not had the opportunity to analyze data from loading the RC.
