NOTE FOR BUSINESS KEYBOARD USERS ONLY: You can set your com-
puter for upper case character entry. Do this by typing:
POKE 59468,12 and pressing the RETURN key.
Although it is not absolutely necessary to give this command, it does permit easy
entry. In addition, the examples in this manual can be duplicated exactly when
you sue only upper case. If this step is omitted the display will be in lower case
letters. DO NOT use the shift key when entering commands.
STEP 1. Insert the DEMO diskette into the drive as previously instructed.
STEP 2. Type: LOAD"*",8 and press RETURN. The computer will load the
first file from the diskette in drive 0 and display the following:
READY.
LOAD"*",8
SEARCHING FOR *
LOADING
READY.
STEP 3. Type: RUN and press RETURN. This will cause the DOS Support
Program to be executed. (This program is not necessary for the disk
unit to operate; it just simplifies the direct mode commands.) A brief
introductory description of DOS Support is presented in Chapter 3
as it applies to Chapter 3 operations. A detailed description of DOS
Support is presented in Chapter 7.
STEP 4. Type: /PERFORMANCE TEST
The screen will display:
SEARCHING FOR PERFORMANCE TEST
LOADING
READY.
STEP 5: Type: RUN and press RETURN.
The program instructs you to place a blank diskette into the drive.
The Performance Test Program executes a shortened version of the
test used by Commodore in final inspection of the 2031. The purpose
of this test is to ensure that the unit is functioning correctly and
will take approximately seven minutes to complete.
NOTE
Do not use diskettes containing any valuable infor-
mation since the Performance Test Program will
re-format them and any data will be lost. The test
program will label this diskette "Test Disk." This
diskette is ready for further use when the test pro-
gram is completed and the performance test has
been satisfied.
