Load Program Function
The Load Program Function is used to
execute Diskette MDIs from the oppo-
site diskette drive. It can also be
selected from the diagnostic selection

feature diagnostics, and customer's
program diskettes) may be inserted in
the diskette drive in place of the
diagnostic diskette. The system will
IPL the inserte~ program diskette.
