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.
