Ok, but I thought it would be cool to just type bload"cas:",r to get
it going. Or I might put the program in ROM or SRAM and use the tape
interface to update data-files. It doesn't have a diskdrive, just plain
vanilla MSX1. I'm planning to use a RAMdisk though.
And as I have already entered this data on the PC, I want to keep
the master database there. BTW I started this database on the MSX using
Friday! (Dbase II application)...so it was easily ported to PC.
