General Information
Loading TRSDOS
See the Operation Manual for instructions on connection, power-up and
inserting the System diskette.
Note: A System diskette must be in Drive 0 (the built-in unit) whenever the
Computer is in use. Whenever the Computer is turned on or reset, it will
automatically load
TRSDOS
from Drive O.
After the System starts up, it will prompt you to enter the date. Type in the
date in
MMjDDjYYYY
form and press
13m*I .
For example:
07/04/1979
for July 4, 1979.
Next the System will prompt you to enter the time. To skip this question, press
. The time will start at 00:00:00.
To set the time, type in the time in
HH.MM.SS 24-hour form. Periods are
used instead of colons since they're
easier to type in. The seconds are op-
tional. For example:
14.30
for 2:30 pm.
The System will record the time and
date internally and return with the
message:
TRSDOS READY
