Without the BASIC cartridge the machine is essentially non operational. It does have a 4K monitor chip, but that contains just a kind of "BIOS" routines like memory testing, and serial printer and cassette drivers. It has no user interfacing code what so ever, not even a debug monitor. | Without the BASIC cartridge the machine is essentially non operational.
