23755: BASIC Bootstrap
The short BASIC program "KENTILLA" that starts the Micromega tape. It autostarts at line 1. The REM on line 1 holds the stage-1 machine code; line 3 CLEARs just below the loader (MicromegaLoader) and enters it with RANDOMIZE USR BootstrapEntry; line 4 is the ordinary ROM LOAD "" CODE that later replaces the stage-2 loader with the final support block at SupportCode.
  • Line 1: REM containing the bootstrap at BootstrapEntry, its custom load routine at CustomLoad, a header workspace at Stage2Header, and the loader messages.
  • Line 2: <code>POKE 0,0</code> — an intentional no-op in ROM.
  • Line 3: black INK/PAPER/BORDER, CLS, CLEAR just below the loader (MicromegaLoader), then <code>RANDOMIZE USR</code> BootstrapEntry.
  • Line 4: <code>LOAD "" CODE</code> for the final 5706-byte support block.
