From the project

JellyLoad Optical Data Channel receiver interface hardware

Jelly Load is touted as one of the most inconvenient (but also most fun) ways of loading data into your 8 bit computer. The concept is the collaborative creation of Dave Curran (Tynemouth Software) and Rod Hull (The Future Was 8 bit).

Take a look here: https://www.tfw8b.com/introducing-jelly-load/ for a historical account.

The loader binaries for VIC20 can be found here: https://www.tfw8b.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/JellyLoad-VIC20-240908.zip (different ones depending upon your RAM configuration)
