Loading Software and
games
....
Welcome to those of you who skipped
here
from
the
beginning of
the
previous section!
As a quick demonstration
ofthe
speed ofloading disc software, switch on
the
system,
then
insert
Side 4 of your
master
CP/M
discs package into
the
drive (i.e.
the
label 'Side
4' should be uppermost).
Type in:
run
11
r 0 i n t i
me.
de m
11
[RETURN]
After a few seconds
the
program will
have
loaded into
the
memory. Answer
the
question on
the
screen as to
whether
you
are
using a green monitor; (Type Y for Yes,
or
N for No),
and
you will
then
see a continuous demonstration of
the
game 'Roland
in
Time' on
the
screen.
It
may
even persuade you to
go
out
and
buy a copy
ofthe
game!
When you
have
finished watching
the
demonstration, you
may
'escape' from
the
program by simultaneously holding
downthe
[CONTROL]
and
[SHIFT]
keys
then
pressing
the
[ESC]
key. This
has
the
effect of completely resetting
the
computer,
and
may
be used whenever you wish to
start
afresh. (You
do
not need to remove any disc
from
the
drive
when
resetting
the
computer
in
this
way).
If
the
program
hasn't
loaded, study
any
error
message on the screen to see where you
went
wrong:
Drive
A:
disc
missing
Retry,
Ignore
or
Cancel?
....
means
that
you
have
either
not inserted your disc correctly, or,
if
you have a
2-drive system,
that
you
have
inserted
it
into Drive
B.
ROINTIME.DEM
not
found
....
means
that
you
have
either
inserted
the
wrong disc, (or
the
wrong side of
the
disc),
or you
have
not
carefully
and
precisely typed
in
the
name, R 0 I N T I ME.
DE
M
Bad
command
....
means
that
you have probably mis-typed R 0 I N T I ME.
DE
M by introducing
an
unwanted
space or
punctuation
mark.
