1 / General Information
This chapter will provide you with an overview of LEVEL II
BASIC - what some of its special features are, how it differs
from LEVEL I, and generally, what you need to get going. In
addition, there's a short glossary at the end of the chapter.
Power-Up
Connect Keyboard-Computer, Video Display and Power Supply as explained
in the previous section. Plug Video Display and Power Supply into 120-volt
AC outlets. If you have a Recorder connected to the TRS-80,
be sure it is in
the Stop mode
(
not
in Play, Rewind, etc.) during power-up. This will
prevent unnecessary wear of the tape control relay inside the TRS-80.
Press POWER buttons on Video Display and at the back of the Keyboard.
Give the video tube a few seconds to warm up.
MEMORY SIZE?
will appear on the screen.
This is your chance to protect a segment of memory so that machine-language
programs may be loaded, using a special command, SYSTEM. You must
[ENTER]
3 a value greater than or equal to 17430. (For more information on
loading and executing machine-language programs, see page 2/6, SYSTEM
command, and page 8/8, USR(x) command.)
For normal applications, you won't want to protect any memory, so just press
the
[ENTER]
key without typing in any numbers. This will allow you to write
BASIC programs using the full memory capacity of your Computer (for 4K
Level II machines, that's 3284 bytes, for 16K LEVEL II machines, it's 15,572
bytes).
NOTE: In general, whenever you have typed something in via the keyboard
and you want the Computer to "act" on your input, you must first hit the
[ENTER]
key just as you did with the Level I TRS-80. There are ways to have
the Computer respond as soon as you hit a key (without
[ENTER]
), but these
will be covered later.
