Z88 Hints & Tips
- Try the command <>COBRA in PipeDream
- Set the timeout value in the panel to 2mins (saves batteries)
- DON'T leave anything resting on the keyboard - it'll drain the batteries
- Always keep backups of your files on EPROM or another computer
- Use slot 1 for RAM, slot 2 for ROM & slot 3 for EPROM
- Create a BOOT.CLI file on your EPROM to prepare your default settings
- Split large PipeDream documents into small ones with a list file
(saves memory)
- Add a *NAME statement to BASIC programs, to show up in
the Index
- Don't use the Z88 in the garden on a hot day - the screen goes funny
- Always keep a spare set of alkaline batteries with you
- Use a mains PSU when using the Z88 indoors
- Before repowering a completely drained Z88, remove any EPROM in slot 3
to reduce the chances of EPROM corruption
