2.1 .2 Activating system software stored in a diskette file
Energize
the
floppy disk unit and place the master diskette in drive No.
I;
energize the MZ-80B.
The MZ-80B loads
the
system software automatically.
After a few seconds, a message should appear indicating
that
DISK BASIC interpreter SB-651 0
has been activated.
A special method
of
loading system programs from a
ROM
card connected to the expansion
I/0
port
is
possible. The
IPL
of
the MZ-80B enables system program loading
in
this manner; when the IPL
is
started with the
"/"
(slash) key
depressed, it loads the program from the memory connected
to
the expansion 1/0 port.
