BASIC + 4K
(Requires MACH 5 Disk)
BASIC+ 4K makes available an additional 4096 bytes of
memory for BASIC programming and is completely compatible
with all of the standard CBM BASIC commands. This extra area
can be used for larger BASIC programs, more information stored
as variables, etc.
GETTING STARTED . . .
Insert the MACH 5 DISK into your disk drive and type /BAS*
(If you are not using MACH 5 CARTRIDGE, type LOAD
"BAS*",8). When the computer responds with "Ready", type
RUN. BASIC +4K will be automatically installed in memory.
MEMORY LOCATIONS . . .
When BASIC + 4K is loaded and operating in the computer, the
BASIC ROM routines are located from $B000 to $CFFF and the
KERNAL ROM routines are located from $E000 to $FFFF. Free
BASIC+ 4K memory extends from $0800 to $AFFF (2048 to
45055).

When BASIC+4K is installed, MACH 5 LOADER is automatical-
