By pressing
shift and
run/stop together, your
Commodore 128 will attempt to
load and run the first program on your
diskette. This is a useful feature that allows faster
computer use and eliminates the
",8" or ",8,1"? problem. I think the
Fast Load Cartridge enabled a similar feature on the
Commodore 64.
The shift-run/stop feature can be
disabled by running the following
program:
9 POKE4104,0:FORI=4159TO4164:POKEI,PEEK(I+9):NEXT
The
old skool (pre-
128) method of loading the first program on disk is:
LOAD"*",8,1
