      Hello!\
      I have a simular system called IBEX 7201. My system has 8 inch drives.

      I have a smal problem with my system.\
      I cant load it from the disk. I only get to the "Monitor".\
      Is there a special command to load from the disk?\

The Sanco 7000 was sold with the Microsoft Basic interpreter (V.4.45) and KBasic, a special basic which allowed advanced data management.

Notice that the sanco 7000 has a 1 KB ram used for cache disk.

More than 5000 Sanco 7000 were delivered, mainly in France.
