 Re: Using Commodore 1541 disk drive on a Commodore + 4

To "Me": If you look closely at the 1541 manual, there is a "bootup" load command referred to as an "ampersand file" (&). This is intended to load a file into the 1541 memory upon power-on.... and the disks Monty is using are generated with Star Commander so they're easily rewritten if needed.

To Monty: If the Plus/4 can't get an error string from the 1541 at power on, then it'll never load a file. One thing I thought of this morning is asking what device number your 1541 is set up as. DLOAD defaults to device 8, but even then PRINT DS$ should still get the disk status without needing to know what device number your drive is.
