IRQ Tape Routines

How do you create an IRQ tape routine. I use Datel's Disk to Tape transfer utility to backup my games I written on disk to tape. The loader uses these coloured flashing lines on the border, and the ready, load prompt inside a white screen. However, I would like to know, how is it possible for me to create an IRQ tape loader when using the disk - tape transfer, such as scroll a text and play some music while loading program. I was thinking I could give that a go for Heavy Metal Deluxe Confused

Well it's been years I coded my own tapeloader, but it's something about loading one byte in the IRQ. For a disk loader you should $ee13.
