little machine. I never much liked the fact that the directory
of the microcassette was cahced in RAM and if you forgot to unmount the
tape before ejecting it yyou could end up losing data on that tape _and
on the next oen you loaded_.
Seems familiar with some other systems.
CP/M needed ^C when changing disks. So did MS-DOS! (sometimes)
I never could find ANYWHERE in any Microsoft manuals any mention of
pressing ^C when changing disks.
Yes, it did sometimes use the cached DIRectory instead of the newly
inserted disk!
