Commodore Plus 4 - Page 48

The format for the HEADER command is:
HEADER "disk name", Udevice#, Ii.d.#.Ddrive#
• The name you use is the name of the entire disk. Give the disk
any name up to 16 characters.
—
• Device # specifies which device for your computer (disk drive
as opposed to Daiassette), and is usually number 8.
• Thei.d. is the letter I and any two letters and/or numbers, like 121,
IR5, etc. Give the disk any i.d. you want, but you should give
every disk a different i.d. to avoid confusion.
• If you have a dual drive, add DO or D1 to identify the drive
number. If you have a single drive, you must use DO.
