This section covers day to day usage of SDX Plus, and covers common hints and tips.
If both Shift keys are pressed during reset, it doesn't boot CP/M and returns to BASIC instead.
You can switch to MTX BASIC, and use ROM 5
to gain access to the floppy disk and RAM disc via USER
commands.
A>MTXL ROM 5 USER DIR USER RUN "F:TOADO.RUN"
Prior to switching to MTX BASIC, you can use
SDPTAPE to prime virtual cassette tapes
with the contents of .MTX
files.
From CP/M :-
A>SDPTAPE QUAZZIA.MTX 0 A>SDPTAPE SNAPPO.MTX 1 A>MTXL
Then the usual MTX BASIC LOAD
command can be used to
load it :-
LOAD "QUAZZIA"
Running SDPTAPE
with no arguments lists bytes 1-15
of the virtual cassette in each slot, which is handy, as these
are the names you will need to LOAD
from MTX BASIC.
These names do not necessarily agree with the names of the
.MTX
files they were loaded from.
