The Masters BASIC is included in the 128K ROM with the OS and other
stuff (DFS, Edit, View, Terminal etc).  The Master had battery RAM which
could be used to save machine configurations.  One of the options was
which language would be selected on startup.  Try a *ROMS, or a *BASIC
at the * prompt and see if BASIC is listed or starts.

*STATUS gives you a list of the CMOS settings and *CONFIGURE <option>
<value> should allow you to change these back to their defaults.  Does
anyone out there know what these were????
