Hi there,

There is the BASIC 8 ROM to download in the downloads section .. anyone know how to get it to work ?
I've tried putting it in a 27C256 EPPROM and then putting it in the ROM socket of the C128 but no joy ... is there a SYS command to run to activate it ?

Thanks

Mark

Hold down the Control key while powering up the C128.

Oh, and you need to be in 80 column mode

Cheers

Lance if you are reading this, might be a good idea to add a readme for the basic8.bin file saying how to get it to work :-)
