Hi.
My name is Petter and i live in Norway.
Some 20 years ago i bought a BBC B and had lots of fun with it.
I bought a midi interface and used it as a midi controller for drum machines and synths.
Even made a record with my band and had a few gigs in Scandinavia.
Now my kids are in to computing and gaming, so i dug the beeb out of my rehersal room.
I have a few games on floppy discs, and would like to load them into the beeb,
but unfortunately i can't remember how to run the floppy disc drive.
All i can do by now (after 3 hours of fumbling) is write BASIC programs.
The display says "BASIC" and i can't figure out how to exit that mode.
Can someone please help me?
And my kidos?

Petter.

IIRC, ".*" mounted the disk and showed a directory. The BBC
documentation project has lots of BBC manuals online:
