Are the MC5 programs copied into RAM before they are run?
No, all programs are run directly out of RAM or EPROM. This is one major advantage of ROS (ROM-based Operating System) over DOS (Disk operating system). Why do I keep getting “File Create Error” on the MC Series (with KERMIT, BASIC, etc.) ? Check the current drive (or the drive you explicitly specify) to be sure it is a RAM module formatted for FILES. Check that there is space available on the drive for the file. Can I add more memory to my MC5? Standard MC5 comes with 384 KBye of memory. Normally, A: drive is formatted as 128 KBye MEMORY and B: and C: are joined together as a 256 KByte file system. To increase the file storage capacity, you can install additional RAM modules into the unit, provided its D and E ports are free. There is also an H port in the MC5. If you are using a program module such as MC-SS, MC-BASIC, MC-MBASE or MC-CALC, you may move it to the H port to make room for additional RAM modules. Another way to add file storage space to the MC5 machine is to install a 1,
