hi Robert, thanks for your reply
the startup file only contains a time setting command, and a iniz term
command
I've tried swapping the disk out and putting Cave Walker in /d0. I
follow up with "CAVE" or "cave" and get an error (from memory, 214 or
216.. sorry I can't recall which one!)
It's a single disk game, btw
so, I've tried 2) above with no luck.. when I get back infront of the
coco, I'll try 1) and see how I go!
Once again, thanks!
