                       ===================


                       USING THE SOFT-ROM 
                       ==================

With each SOFT-ROM there is a tape containing a SOFT-ROM
handling utility program. If you are a first time user of a 
SOFT-ROM please follow these instructions carefully. 

Step 1. Switch off the power to the Spectrum. 

     2. Plug the SOFT-ROM into the Spectrums expansion port. 

     3. Put the Four switches on the SOFT-ROM to :- 

           WD NORM OFF OFF 

     4. Re-connect the power to the Spectrum and verify that it 
        is working as NORMal. 

     5. Load the supplied tape by LOAD "softrom". When the 
        program has loaded you  will be presented with the 
        following menu :- 

        1. Load SOFT-ROM code from TAPE 
        2. Load SOFT-ROM code from MICRODRIVE 
        3. Save SOFT-ROM code to TAPE 
        4. Save SOFT-ROM code to MICRODRIUE 
        5. Test the SOFT-ROMs RAM and copy the Sinclair ROM
        6. Save this program to TAPE 
	7. Save this program to MICRODRIVE 

     6. Select option 5 and follow the screen instructions. 

     7. Return to the main menu. 


     8. Select option 2 and load in the block of CODE which 
        follows the main program an the tape. This is 16K of 
        CODE and is an example of an altered operating sustem. 
        Its filename For loading is "ROM" (see ROM details). 

     The other options are straightforward and easy to use 
     by following the screen prompts. 

Interface 1 users may experience the occasional crash on
switching from SOFT to NORM. This is probably caused by the
paging system of Interface 1 getting confused.  The answer to
this problem is to modify Interface 1, or to execute a PAUSE 0
command then switch over and press BREAK.

PLEASE REMEMBER NEVER TO CONNECT OR REMOVE THE SOFT-ROM WITH
THE POWER SWITCHED ON AS DAMAGE TO BOTH THE SPECTRUM AND THE 
SOFT-ROM INVARIABLY OCCURS.
