Subject: Re: transfering files from PC to BEEB

Ian,

To get the disk to boot you will need to recreate the !Boot file.

To do this use *Build, ie:

*Build !Boot

The machine will then allow you to type in a command script, with numbered
lines.

On the first line type CHAIN"PROGRAM"|M where PROGRAM is the file you want
to run. Then press Escape to save the file.

Finally you need to type *OPT4,3 to set the disk to *EXEC the !Boot file.

At least, I *think* the second digit is 3 - I could be wrong. If you get the
wrong value the machine will try to *RUN or *LOAD the !boot file instead.

I hope this helps

john
