- In answer to MOJICA 10458-0054 on
-
- source of supply for pens for the
-
- 1520 Printer/Plotter. Radio Shack
-
- has almost the same plotter as
-
- Commodore, the pens and also the
-
- paper are interchangeable. Catalog
-
- No. 26-1481a for a pack of red, blue
-
- and green pens, Catalog No. 26-1480
-
- for a pack of 3 black pens each pack
-
- is $2.95. I have also found they
-
- carry interchangeable ribbon cartrige
-
- for the MPS 801, Catalogue No.
-
- 26-1283 price $7.95.
-
- I have found that if I am not going
-
- to use my plotter for a few days, I
-
- take the pens out and cap them. The
-
- ink is a water based and is prone to
-
- dry up quite quickly.

-
- Let me pass on some information
-
- concerning FASTLOAD. One of its
-
- short-comings is that it will only
-
- work on drive 8. Well, it can be made
-
- to access drive 9 by simply
-
- entering......
-
-
- POKE 186,9
-
-
- Location 186 ($BA) is the place in
-
- ZERO page that the 64 uses to store
-
- the number of the device currently
-
- being used. Therefore, if you put the
-
- number 9 here by POKing it in,
-
- FASTLOAD assumes that the device
-
- currently being used is number 9, and
-
- addresses that drive. POKing 186,8
-
- will return the computer to normal.
-
- Of course, it will default to drive 8
-
- should anything cause the computer to
-
- be reset.
