  --------------------------------------
 
 
This command allows you to load a ASCII 16K type Megarom file into a same type
MegaFlashRom. In addition, the Roms or Megaroms files are converted on-the-fly
to fit them to be used with the same MegaFlashRom type. Some ROMs are also
patched to correct the known problems. (See Converted Roms List)


Requirements
------------

- MSX1 or newer
- MSX-DOS 1 or 2
- 64Ko of RAM
- Hard disk interface, FDD drive or equivalent
- 128~1024KB MegaFlashRom of ASCII 16K type (see Supported 
  MegaFlashRoms)


Usage
-----

1/ Loading a Rom File

Enter the following command under MSX-DOS(2):

  A>FL16 filename.ext /Sxx /R

  /Sxx parameter is used to indicate the number of slot of cartridge port where
  the MegaFlashRom is inserted. (ex: /S1 or /S01 for primary Slot 1. /S86 for
  the secondary Slot 1-2.) If this parameter is omitted the cartridge will
  be detected automatically. However, if another Flash-ROM is present in
  another Slot, you must specify this parameter to make sure to load the file
  in targeted Flash-ROM.

  Note: If the slot indicated is a Flash-Rom containing a Disk-ROM installed
        in the system a message will appear and the writing will be canceled.

  /R parameter will reset computer after Rom loading.


2/ Erasing FlashROM

Enter the following command:

  A>FL16 /E /Sxx

  Same remark that upper above /Sxx.

  Note: If the slot indicated is a Flash-Rom containing a Disk-Rom installed
        in the system a confirmation message will appear. Normally, you should
        not erase it (press the "N" key). If in a particular case, you need to
        delete a Disk-ROM, press "Y" and restart the MSX forthwith.

Warning: The auto-detection seeks a Flash Rom regardless of the mapper type and
         chooses the first cartridge found.
