- That's not exactly true. 8 is the logical channel for the floppy (also 9 to 12
- (I think 12 was the last possible channel)). LOAD "filename",8 means
- the same as LOAD "filename",8,0 which can be used for loading BASIC
- programs. If you wish to load autostart-programs or machine coded ones
- you may use LOAD "filename",8,1 and after loading is completed RUN (if
- it's not an autostart-program, of course). If you want to load
- from drive 2 you may use LOAD "filename",9[,1] and so on.
