5. Loadable drivers

Note: Since the Atmos doesn't have working disk I/O (see section "Limitations"), the available drivers cannot be loaded at runtime (so the term "loadable drivers" is somewhat misleading). Instead, the drivers have to be converted using the co65 utility and statically linked. While this may seem overhead, it has two advantages:

1. The interface is identical to the one used for other platforms and to the one for the Atmos once it has disk I/O.
2. Once disk I/O is available, existing code can be changed to load drivers at runtime with almost no effort.
