The INIT command defines the initial settings and modes for external devices.
(Format 1)
In this format the INIT command initializes the optional RAM file board (MZ-1R18)
and allocates the amount of memory space specified in <number of bytes> to this
file, with the remaining memory space reserved for the printer buffer. <number
of bytes> must be within the range $0010 to $FFFF. When <number of bytes>
is omitted, the current setting for the RAM file area is assumed, The ‘‘OK? [Y/N]’”
message appears when this command is executed. Typing Y sets up the RAM file
area as shown below. Typing N causes BASIC to display a ‘‘Break’’ message and
return to the command mode.
Either the RAM file board or the printer buffer function may become unavailable
if the memory space assigned to it is too small.
INIT "RAM: SFFFF'"
This statement initializes the RAM file board and allocates the maximum amount
of memory space to RAM files.
