I have two problems and 2 Vic20s.
1. My uncle had a vic20 ALONG time ago wich I just recently found. When I pluged it in and
turned it on "Let there be light!" A big blue flash appeared and I think the
fuse blew. Is there any paticurlar fuses that it uses?
2. My other Vic20 works "ok" But when I load a cart it does not start up right
away. How do
I load a cart? I know LOAD "*",8,1 is for disks. But whats for carts?
Thanks..
Sorry if this posts twice for some reason I cant post with my other email address.

Um, all you have to do is plug the cartridge in with the power off,
then switch the power on. Cartridges autostart. If the BASIC screen
comes up, it's probably not inserted properly. If nothing comes up,
you've probably got a bad cartridge.
Hope this helps,

Some of the cart`s need a sys to start them, try sys32692

sys32692
And some of them add just HW and/or ROM extensions that do not
give any hint at all - unless you read the manual.
