Loading MS-DOS on the Apex Plus
Before you can use a software program designed to run on the
MS-DOS operating system, MS-DOS must be running in the
computer’s memory (this is also called booting the system).
Once MS-DOS is loaded, you can give instructions to the
computer and begin to use various software programs.
Follow these steps to load MS-DOS on the Apex Plus:
1. Make sure the disk latch is in the horizontal position.
Hold the diskette with the label up and the notch to the

completely into the top drive.
