At first I was skeptical of a a 512 byte BIOS, but it's actually very convenient. I don't have to type any commands from BASIC to load a game. The keyboard is very nice too, it has a very soft touch. Far superior to the keyboard on the BK-0010.

Would you please let me suggest a small correction, if you don't mind?Сообщение от cyb2600
To be precise, it's not BIOS at all, as this ROM is not even available to any application programs running on a Vector (and neither does it contain any reusable input/output routines).
This is just a bootloader, no more and no less. Once you reset the machine in "normal mode" (via BLK+SBR), the bootloader ROM is completely disabled, and only becomes active again if you reset the machine in "bootloader mode" via "VVOD+BLK".
I believe the Vector is unique in this regard, as in the majority of 8-bit home computers of the era the on-board ROM is an inherent part of the machine's address space.
