The 64 kB of RAM of the MZ-700 are free and not allocated after power on/RESET. A program to be executed must be loaded first into the storage by the data recorder, a disk drive, or manually by the keyboard. The monitor program is needed to load the program to be executed. The MZ-700 monitor program, 1Z-013A, is resident in a 4kB ROM chip (source code).The monitor is activated after power on first and the blinking cursor waits for your input command. The monitor can be used to change programs, enter new programs, modify the storage, print or plot a character string, and to test programs in the RAM.
