# Tips from CPT Charles R. Byler

Two tips from APO-stationed reader: (1) To load and stop auto-running machine code from the TS1000/ZX81 without executing it, enter the POKE sequence to load at an address, LOAD the program, then RUN it — it stops at the load address. (2) For TS2068 owners wanting to run UK Spectrum software: replace the first 16K ROM with a 48K Spectrum ROM (approx. £7/$9 by mail from UK) to run Tasword, Manic Miner, and other Spectrum software at substantial savings vs. US prices.
