How to save a basic program into ATR image?

[emarti]

Hi,

I coded simple basic lines. I want to save it into ATR image via Sio2Arduino. I attached "EMPTY.ATR" for D1 drive.

10 REM **** SAMPLE ****
20 PRINT"ATARI"
30 END

SAVE"D1:SAMPLE.BAS"

Returns "ERROR 130".

 

How to do?

Error 130 means "device not present". You will need to load a DOS before being able to save to disk.

Ok. I loaded DOS2.5. How to return from DOS to BASIC without RESET?

If the image is empty you need to load DOS then write it to the empty disk, Init, then write DOS

 

 

select the run cartridge option from the 2.5 menu

that takes you to basic

type

DOS while in basic takes you back to DOS menu

 

make sure mem.sav is active and if using 130XE or expanded memory computer you can use ramdisk to speed up the process

Ok I got it. I wrote dos files into ATR image with H. I can save it, now. Thank you Stephen

and that choice is usually B on most DOS menus

if you are using XL XE do not press option during boot,

if using and 800 or 400 make sure basic cart is plugged in...

 

in this way BASIC is available to move freely to and from

Just type DOS (if you have it loaded).
