IPL is easy: turn the machine on.
To get a directory listing of a diskette, do the following:
BASIC
-----
UTIL DIR,D80 (first drive)
UTIL DIR,D40 (second drive)
APL
---
)LIB 11001 (first drive)

You should also be sure it is cabled up properly. The disk drives won't
work unless the I/O bus is terminated. The printer has the terminator
built in, so you should wire them up as CPU->drives->printer. Or you
might have on hand a standalone terminator block, in which case you can
just have CPU->drives->terminator.
