- the problem is that the program is trying to load another portion
- (possibly a machine language routine or character definitions). The
- program defaults to trying to load from disk (device 8). list the
- program and see if you find LOAD"something",8 or OPEN n,8,n. the LOAD
- can be changed to ,1. if the third number in the OPEN statement is
- 1-14, change the 8 to 1. If it's 15, remove the statement and any
- statements using it. example, OPEN 2,8,15 remove the statement as well
- as any GET#2, PRINT#2, etc.
- Non of this will guarantee your program will work (some programs just
- require a disk drive and nothing else) but it should help on some.
