Strange behavior when loading programs

Post by sl07h1 »

Hi guys, I have a ZX 81 with the MEMOPAK 32K., I noted that without the Memopak, when I press Break when I just type LOAD "" (without starting to load), I get the "D/0" error, which is OK, but when I do the same with the memopak plugged I don't get the error, but a space and the K, like I just wrote a space.

Is this normal?

I don’t have any real hardware to hand (I’m not at home) but on an emulator that I do have access to, I get exactly the same. So I would say that it is normal.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
