NEC PC-8201A - IPL (Initial Program Load)

Chaptei 2
IPL
The PC-8201 has a special feature called "IPL” (Initial Program
Load), This feature allows you to have predetermined functions
performed every time the PC-8201 is turned ON. For example, the
PC-8201 could automatically go into a particular mode, such as
3ASIC, or it could automatically run a particular program each time
t is turned ON. This is all done by the use of a special file
generated in the TEXT Mode.
This feature is initiated by the "IPL Command File”, containing the
program that instructs the PC-8201 to perform the specified function
when turned ON.
See the Commands section of Chapter 5 for more details
on constructing an IPL Command File or for setting up
an IPL operation.
