LOAD"$",8 not working on sdcard

When I launch the emulator with an sdcard, the LOAD"$",8 command doesn't work anymore. When I try it, I get "Searching for $" then "Loading from $0801", and it just sits there indefinitely. The same command returns a directory that I can LIST just fine when I don't mount an sdcard.

Oddly, the X16 Edit text editor, and the DIR.PRG directory listing apps can get listings from the sdcard. And I'm able to save/load from the sdcard if I already know the file name. With the DIR.PRG program, I can at least get a directory listing, so it's not critical. But I am very confused why the standard BASIC command isn't working.

Any info or advice that might help enlighten? And thanks again for helping a newbie

try DOS"$ instead

Thanks! that's super useful. Still curious why the basic load command doesn't work, but I won't be using it anymore anyway now I know this.
