___________________________________________________ OPERATION
USING SOFTWARE DISKS
The operating strength of the 820-11 is derived from its capability to use existing software packages. The
820-II's software library includes packages that make it operate like a word processor, a desk top computer
and a communicating terminal. As a communicating terminal, the 820-11 may be used to transmit data (e.g.,
single commands or lengthy files) to other communications devices, such as another 820-11 or a host
computer.
The steps below tell you how to load software into the 820-I\'s memory. Begin with a disk that has Word
Processing or CP/M software on it.
STEP 4
Select the disk with the software you want to use. The disk
must have either CP/M or Word Processing software on it.
To protect your software disk from accidental erasure, it is
a good idea to write protect the disk. (For 8" disks, the write
protect tape should be off, while
5114"
disks should have
the tape left on. See page 13 for location of tape.)
STEP 5
Insert the disk in the left disk drive, using the arrows on the
disk as guides.
The 820-11 floppy disk drives are referred to as A and B.
Drive A is on the left and Drive B is on the right. The 4
partitions on the rigid disk drive are referred to as E
through H.
When you first load CP/M or Word Processing, you put the
software disk in Drive A.
STEP 6
Close the disk drive, type the letters LA and press the
RETURN
key.
Typing LA and
RETURN
tells the 820-1\ to Load the
software from Drive A into memory. If you have a rigid disk
drive and have put your software on the rigid disk, you'd
type L plus the rigid partition name (E, F, G, or H) where the
software resides.
Drive A
