Specific System Requirements - Fastload Cartridge

Some fastloader cartridges may require some special merges for the BBS program to work properly during LOAD operations. To check if you need the following merges, turn your computer on with the fastloader in place (and active), and type the following line and press RETURN: PRINTPEEK(817)

If the number that is printed is 223 (two hundred twenty-three), then you need these fastloader merges, which need to be merged into the specified overlays:

  • fst.init -> √bbs.init
  • fst.xfer -> √bbs.xfer
  • fst.ovl -> √bbs.ovl
  • fst.nw1 -> √bbs.nw1

Merge "fst.ovxx" into the following programs:

  • √bbs.msgs
  • √bbs.ov2
  • √bbs.ov3
  • √bbs.nw2
  • √bbs.xxx
  • xxx small
