[Coco] Glenside IDE Hard Drive Interface --- HOW-TO

[Bob Devries]

Randy,

>From that error report, I'd suggest that basic09 does not have enough memory 
for the size of the basic09 procedure file that you're trying to run.

load basic09 with extra memory, like this:

/d0/BASIC09 #16K

then proceed with loading the file as you describe.
