Starting the DISK BASIC
To make the DISK BASIC run, first perform initial loading by the IPL (Initial
Program Loader). The initial loading is easily executed. With the floppy disk drive
connected to the computer, switch the power supply ON and then set the disk in which
the DISK BASIC is included to drive number 1 (FDl).
After making the setting, the DISK BASIC will start when the power supply of the
computer is switched ON and F is input.
The figure below shows that DISK BASIC is started, and the BASIC command level
condition is indicated by the flashing of the cursor.
