| clear the memory from 0x15000 to 0x20000 with the program “[[https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:sbc:tiny68k:clrcpmmem.zip|clrcpmmem.s68]] ”. Use the “send text file” command of your terminal program to upload. This program will auto-execute when file loading is finished. When program execution is completed it will display “S record execution completed” and prompt for more inputs. Please note that source & listing are included in the zip file, only upload the file with .s68 extension. | clear the memory from 0x15000 to 0x20000 with the program “[[https://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:sbc:tiny68k:clrcpmmem.zip|clrcpmmem.s68]] ”.

| execute the monitor 'bo' command. This will copy the software in track 1 to memory starting at 0x15000 and then jump to it. A checksum will be displayed which should be '0C0DCC9E' and CP/M 'A>' prompt should be displayed. A CPM 'DIR' command may display random data because there are no meaningful directory structure in the CF at this time. When 'DIR' command is executing, the tiny red LED on the 44-pin CF adapter should flicker indicating access to CF. | execute the monitor 'bo' command.

| Cycle power or press the reset button. Upload the RAMdisk image '[[https://www.retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:sbc:tiny68k:t68kram.zip|t68kram.s68]] '. This will take 30 minutes to complete. t68kram.s68 contains the files from CP/M-68K ver 1.3 distribution disks plus microEMACS, gkermit, and BASIC executables. All executables are in relocatable format and will be converted to .68K executable format. | Cycle power or press the reset button.
