Utilities
| The Utilities sub-menu contains many useful tools for standard users and programmers. When you start a tool, you may select the Vic-20 Ram configuration (including unexpanded mode or +3K if you want to start that utility in ROM, and unexpanded +3K / +8K / +16K or +32K+3K if you want to start that tool in RAM). A suitable common memory configuration for each tool is preselected. |
|
| When a utility is started in RAM it can be made to work simultaneously with other utilities. For example, you may wish to use both the Programmer's Aid and Super Expander utilities simultaneously (and perhaps also have HesMon and Disk Utility active in RAM locations $6000-$6FFF). Read this article in the Tips section for further information about combining utilities. If you prefer, you can lock this sub-menu and always start the Mega-Cart from the Utilities menu instead of the normal Early Startup Menu. Just hold the "3" key during boot for this purpose. You can re-enable the normal startup menu by holding down the “0” (zero) key while booting. |
