RUN "" (Note that holding down the [CONTROL] key then pressing the
[ENTER] key, executes this command. Use when running cassette
based software, after typing I, TAP E).
You will be instructed:
Press PLAY then any key:
.... whereupon you should press the PLAY button on your cassette unit, followed by
one of the keys on the computer. The tape in the cassette will start turning, and the
computer will load the file to be processed.
The screen will display the loading messages:
Loading FILENAME bLock 1
.... and as many other block numbers as there are in the file, until the file is loaded.
If the first character of the filename is ! then the above messages will be suppressed,
and you will not be required to 'press any key' for the file to load. (You must make sure
that the PLAY button on your cassette unit is down.) If your programs use the! mark
and are also required to run on disc, the ! mark will be ignored during disc operation
(when the disc filename is being read). Note that the! mark does NOT occupy one of
the character positions in the cassette or discfilename.
Abandoning the command using the
[ESC]
key produces the error message on the
screen:
Broken in
If the file does not successfully load, read the paragraph entitled 'Read errors' earlier
in this section.
WARNING: The internal disc interface occupies a small portion of the memory that in
some cases, was used by commercial writers of cassette based software for the model
CPC464. These cassettes will not operate properly with the CPC6128

Cassette
unit.
