Reports on Firstloader (published in SYNTAX magazine Dec. 1983, available on tape from E-Z Key, Quincy MA for $19.95), a program that allows TS1000 BASIC programs to be loaded into the TS2068. Key requirements: very clean tape copies, disconnect the ‘ear’ cable during recording, use high-quality AC-erase tape, position tape past the video sync buzz before loading. Programs must be edited after conversion to replace SLOW, FAST, PLOT, SCROLL, and other commands different on the 2068; machine code programs are not convertible.
