A couple of minor comments: The buffer size should probably align with a (multiple) of the block size of the medium. This is of course not strictly necessary, but having a block size aligned may allow the file system to "burst" directly into your buffer instead of copying through a second level buffer. I would suggest 1024 bytes.
Also, for a buffer that small you would not need to allocate memory, the stack would be sufficient.
Last but not least, "*" is not deprecated. There is a small subtle difference between CONSOLE: and "*", and without knowing anything else, I would suggest to go for "*". "*" is the current console, "CONSOLE:" is the default console. It doesn't make a difference with CON: right now, but it may make a difference in the future to allow "job control".
