• The cassette tape deck is controlled by software. All cassette tape operations, i.e., storing, loading
and verifying data and rewinding, fast-forwarding and stopping the tape, are performed by the pro-
gram.
The APSS (Automatic Program Search System) fast-forwards the tape until the specified file is
found.
Automatic functions allow the cassette tape deck to be operated much more efficiently than has
been possible in the past.
Manual operation keys,[
REW],
[£D,
[sToP]
and
[EJEcT],
are provided on the console.
• The MZ-80B has a superior display system with the following features; it displays all characters
and patterns input from the keyboard in any mode; it operates in either the 40 or 80 characters/
line mode; the scrolling area can be restricted to a part of the screen; and black and white can be
reversed.
Further, 2 optional graphic memories which enable graphic display of 320 x 200 dots per frame
can be added to the MZ-80B. With this high resolution, the range of possible applications for the
MZ-80B becomes very wide indeed.
