Finally! Everything is SET, and you’re anxious to get that equipment
doing something.
TURN IT ON
Your computer must have software to operate. Before you turn on
your computer, insert your DOS diskette in the flexible disk drive and
turn the drive lever to lock the diskette in operating position. Turn
ON the computer, and automatically, the program loads into memory.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
There are many application software programs that are compatible
with your computer. Your dealer can demonstrate a variety of
programs, many of which will meet your software needs.
Each software program has its own instructions for loading and for
use. Carefully read these instructions and follow the specific
procedure described to load the software into your computer’s
memory.
Your NCR-DOS manual gives detailed instructions on how to use
DOS commands to operate your computer and your GW-BASIC
manual tells you how to prepare your own special programs. The
diskettes for both GW-BASIC and NCR-DOS are in the back of the
NCR-DOS manual.
KEYBOARD FEATURES
When you begin to experiment with the keyboard, don’t be afraid to
press different keys just to see what happens. The hardware cannot
be damaged by playing with the keys and controls. However, the
software can be damaged, so don’t experiment when you’re using
important files. Read the following information carefully.
Rollover
You can press several keys almost simultaneously and the computer
will accept the information in sequence. The keys don’t stick or jam,
thus you have greater input speed.
Auto-repeat
Almost every key on your keyboard repeats automatically when you
hold it down. The touch of the keyboard is light and you may not
realize, at first, that you are depressing a key. Don’t worry, just read
the key function information and delete the unwanted key strokes.
