#### Sord M5

This computer used cartridges. You can insert game cartridges, or if you want

to use basic, you can insert one of 3 basic cartridges:
"BASIC-I" a integer based basic, "BASIC-G" a basic for graphics, "BASIC-F" a basic
for floating point operations.

Cartridges:
The Sord must have a cartridge to start up.
- some cartridges may not work

Cassette:
The cassette emulation uses .WAV sample files.

saving:
save"cmt:<filename>" where <filename> is the name of the file.

loading:
old"cmt:" will load the next file on the cassette.
chan"cmt:" and run"cmt:" can also be used to load and run the next file on the cassette.

History and Trivia:
The Sord M5 is similar in design to the MSX but not compatible with it.
(It has the same CPU (Z80), a Z80 CTC timer chip and the same video chip, but
a different sound chip and the I/O port assignments are not the same).
In fact some MSX games have been converted to the Sord by enthusiasts.

Known Issues:
- no memory expansion supported
- loading from cassette does not work
