Yes, you are going to need something that can load the V1541 software (,8,1) and do the SYS49152 call and then continue on. This is difficult in BASIC. You basically have to print the text to the screen and then move the cursor to the start of of the LOAD"V1541",8,1 and fill the keyboard buffer with two returns so that the load is done, then the SYS is done, and then continue. It's a LOT easier to accomplish in assembly code - but it can be done in BASIC.
