+=== Starting the Emulator and MIDAS ===
+
+By switching to the directory and running ./buchla in the terminal or simply by clicking on the icon, you can start the emulator. Three windows will appear: One emulates the main graphic display (which will still be blank), one the smaller LCD display (showing "Buchla 700 -- BIOS/FIRMWARE by D.N. Lynx Crowe") and one the debug terminal (showing an orange cursor). Make sure the debug console is in focus and then press "r". "Buchla 700 BIOS / Debug PROM" should appear and there should be a prompt: "ROMP:".
+
+Type "go $10000" to load the MIDAS operating system. The graphic display should now show a menu and the LCD display should show faders.

 == Librarian ==
 
+For the Librarian to work we need to start the emulator slightly differently. After running "./buchla" but before typing "go $10000", type "midas" in the debug console. This loads MIDAS into the memory and initialises the disk drive. Without doing this, the patches will not be saved. The start MIDAS with "go $10000".
