Re: [tatung_einstein] Help required for new Einstein owner

Should have paid more attention more closley.

Switch on the Einstein with a disc inserted and the machine should boot into DOS mode.

Switch it on without a disc and it should display MOS. Insert a disk and press Ctrl + Break. It should boot into DOS.

Type DIR and press enter lists the contents of a disc. Anything with .COM is a program so type the name and it should fire up

Hi, having recently obtained an Einstein and some disks, but
unfortunately no manuals, I'm a bit stuck.

Are there any 'how to' guides available for novices to learn how to
operate the Einstein.

I am fairly familiar with other home micros of the early 80's but am
unsure of the commands available for accessing disks etc that the
Einstein uses.

Any help or links that anyone can offer will be gratefully received.

thanks Grez1m
