Feature
(AAP0)
If
the
SHARP PC-1500/PC-1500A
is
switched off by
its
auto-power-off-feature
all
its
peripheral-devices
MUST
be
switched off, before the PC-1500/A is
switched on again.
To
prevent
this uncomfortable
situation, the
TRAMsoft
Parallel/Floppy-Interface
has a
anti-auto-power-off-feature which
prevents
the
PC-1500/A
to switch
off by issuing interrupts. This
feature is disabled
after a CLOAD-
or
CSAVE-operation.
To
start it again, CALL &E107 must
be
performed.
The following
message NE}{
0
... or
CHECK:
.. can be
ignored.
P0KE
&79D4,0 disables
the
MPO-feature.
