The
directory
list
command
"$"
will
use
the
device
#
for
the
last
drive
accessed.
You
may
directly
select
a
device
by
typing
Poke
186.DV,
where
DV
=
Device
number
(8-11)
•
The
"

"@",
"/",
and
"

commands
can
reference
device
# 8
only.
•
To
perform
a
LOAD
or
SAVE
to
another
device
#
you
must
use
the
"-^
L"
or
"^-
S"
commands
or
normal
BASIC
syntax.
•
Users
of
SYSRES
(TM
by
Solidus
International)
can
do
fast
program
file
loads
with
MACH
5
but
must
use
conventional
BASIC
syntax
(i.e.
LOAD
"FILE",
DR).
•
There
are
very
few
programs
that
will
not load
with
MACH
5
engaged.
If
a
program
does
fail
to
load,
try
typing
"•*-
D"
to
disable
the
FAST
LOADER
rather
than
removing
the
CAR
TRIDGE.
The
time
required
to
load
a
program
depends
on
many
factors
including
booting
technique,
error
checking,
etc.
Speeds
up
to
500%
of
normal
are
possible
with
long,
single
file
program
loads.
With
copy
protected
programs
it
is
usual-
ly
possible
to
save
a
few
seconds
as
well
as
drive
wear
by
disabling
the
drive
rattle.
Some
programs,
however,
may
not
load
properly
with
the
rattle
disabled.
After
the
computer
is
first
turned
on,
be
sure
and
wait
for
the disk
light
to
go
out before
accessing
the
disk
with
a
com
mand
such
as
"$".
If
a
scrambled
(non-working)
screen
occurs
when
MACH
5
CARTRIDGE
and/or
a
printer
interface
is
connected
to
your
printer
the
problem
is
most
commonly
a
weak
or
failing
power
supply.
See
your
local
commodore
dealer
and
try
a
different
power
supply.
BASIC
+
4K
(Requires
MACH
5
Disk)
BASIC+
4K
makes
available
an
additional
4096
bytes
of
memory
for
BASIC
programming
and
is
completely compatible
with
all
of
the
standard
CBM
BASIC
commands.
This
extra
area
can
be
used
for
larger
BASIC
programs,
more
information
stored
as
variables,
etc.
GETTING
STARTED
. .
.
Insert
the
MACH
5
DISK
into
your
disk
drive
and
type
/BAS*
(If
you
are
not
using
MACH
5
CARTRIDGE,
type
LOAD
"BAS*",8).
When
the
computer
responds
with
"Ready",
type
RUN.
BASIC
+4K
will
be
automatically
installed
in
memory.
MEMORY
LOCATIONS
. .
.
When
BASIC
+
4K
is
loaded
and
operating
in
the
computer,
the
BASIC
ROM
routines
are
located
from
$B000
to
$CFFF
and
the
KERNAL
ROM
routines
are
located
from
$E000
to
$FFFF.
Free
BASIC+
4K
memory
extends
from
$0800
to
$AFFF
(2048
to

FAST
LOADING
WITH
BASIC
+
4K
. .
.
When
BASIC+4K
is
installed,
MACH
5
LOADER
is
automatical-
ly
disengaged.
The
same
thing
occurs
if
run/stop
—
restore
is
pressed
or
if
a
'BRK'
is
executed.
To
re-engage
MACH
5
LOADER,
type
SYS

To
disable
BASIC
+
4K,
turn
the
computer
off
and
then
on
again.
NOTE:
Most
compiled
programs
have
memory
conflicts
and
will
not
work
properly
with
BASIC+
4K.
DISK
ORGANIZER
(REQUIRES
MACH
5
CARTRIDGE
&
DISK)
MACH
DISK
ORGANIZER
is
a
very
useful
disk
file
management
system
designed
to
assist
you
in
cataloging
your
program
disks
and
the
files
contained
on
them.
Once
disks
have
been
catalog
ed
by
the
system,
the
information
is
stored
on
a
data
disk.
Disk
Organizer
offers
you
a
variety
of
ways
to
display
this
in
formation
on
the
screen,
print
it
on any
properly
interfaced
80-column
printer
or
search
for
specific
files.
Disk
Organizer
maintains
some
very
useful
information
about
the
files
stored
on
your
disk.
It
keeps
track
of
the
file
name,
the
disk
it
is
located on,
the
size
of
the
file,
what
type
of
file
it
is
and
even
it's
location
by
track
and
sector
on
it's
disk!
GETTING
STARTED
. . .
Insert
the
MACH
5
DISK
into
your
disk
drive
and
type
/DISV
When
the
computer
responds
with
"Ready",
type
RUN.
(NOTE:
MACH
5
CARTRIDGE
MUST
BE
INSTALLED
TO
USE
THE
DISK
ORGANIZER.)
USING
1
or
2
DISK
DRIVES
.
.
.
Disk
Organizer
allows
you
to
use
two
disk
drives
for
catalog
ing.
The
drive
for
accessing
the
data
disk
must
always
be
device
#8.
You
can
use
a
disk
drive
with
device
#9
thru
11
as
the
drive
that
reads
the
directories
of
the
disk
you
are
going
to
catalog.
You
must
specify
the
device
#
for
your
2nd
drive
each
time
you
load
the
program.
MAIN
MENU
.
.
.
Disk
Organizer
is
very
easy
to
use
and
simple
to
operate.
Each
function
is
well
explained
on
the
screen
and
you
can
cancel
a
function,
most
of
the
time,
by
pressing
F8.
If
this
is
your
first
time
using
the
program,
you
will
need
to
prepare
a
data
storage
disk,
(see
F3
below)
OPTIONS
F1
—
Add
A
Directory
Using
this
option
will
allow
you
to
add
a
new
disk
with
it's
direc
tory
and
files
into
the
organizer
system.
As
the
files
are
read
from
the
new
disk,
the
file
names
will
be
sorted
before
they
are
stored
on
the
data
storage
disk.
IMPORTANT
NOTE!
Each
disk
entered
into
the
system
must
have
a
unique
disk
name!
The
program
wiii
not
accept
two
disks
with
the
same
name.
F2
—
Delete
A
Directory
This
option
is
used
for
deleting
a
single
disk
directory
along
with
any
information
about
it
found
in
the
Master
List.
Most
of
the
time
you
will
not
be
deleting
directories
but
occasionally
a
disk
may
become
obsolete,
the
disk
may
no
longer
be
in
your
library
or
the
file
information
needs
to
be
updated.
F3
—
Prepare
New
Data
Disk
You
will
use
this
option
to
format
and
prepare a
disk
for
use
as
a
data
storage
disk
with
the
Disk
Organizer
system.
Once
you
have
prepared
a
data
storage
disk,
do
not
use
it
for
any
other
purpose
as
it
will
decrease
the
number
of
directories
that
can
be
stored
on
it.

Sort
Catalogs
After
disk
directories
have

added
to
a
data
storage
disk,
use
this
option
to
sort
the
directories
and
their
file
information
into
the
Master
List.
The
files
are
sorted
numeric/alphabetical
ac
cording
to
the
file
names.
You
can
perform
this
option
any
time
and
the
length
of
time
it
takes
depends
on
how
many
directories
there
are
that
have
been
added
to
a
data
storage
disk
that
have
not
yet
been
sorted
into
the
Master
List.
If
you
are
going
to
want
to
search
for
a
particular
file
name
with
the
F6
option,
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
do
a
sort
first
to
make
sure
the
Master
List
is
up
to
date.
IMPORTANT
NOTE!
The
sort
that
is
performed
is
a
disk-based
sort.
The
data
storage
disk
needs
to
be
in
the
proper
drive.
F6

This
option
will
find
the
occurrence
of
a
file

or
any
part
of
a

name,
in
the
Master
List.
All
occurrences
will
be
displayed
on
the
screen
along
with
type
of
file,
size
of
file,
name
of
disk
the
file
is
located
on

Use
this
option
to
change
the
name
of
a
disk.
Each
disk
direc
tory
added

a
particular
data
storage
must
have
a
unique
name.
The
system
will
not
allow
two

disk
with
the
same
name.
