RobertLM78 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I whipped up a little program in BASIC to attempt to salvage a tape: 10 CALL CLEAR 100 OPEN #1:"CS1" 110 OPEN #2:"DSK1.PAD" 120 INPUT #1:X$ 130 PRINT #2:X$ 140 GOTO 120 but every time I run it, I get I/O ERROR 03 IN 100 If I understand the codes correctly, this means that somehow "CS1" isn't a valid device name, but yet the syntax, the spelling and the case are all correct. What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks for reading! Edited May 9, 2013 by RobertLM78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertLM78 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) My apologies: It would have helped if I had reviewed the requirements for file operations with the cassette deck . I got the program working, but it has lead me to another issue... but before I go starting a new thread about that I'll be sure to do all the necessary reviewing - and investigating - this time (it's been a long time - probably 9 years - since I've done much with the ol' girl other than faffing about with it a few times last year when it was set up for a month or two ). Thanks for reading - it's good to be in retro community that hasn't forgotten my our beloved beast . Edit: by the way - the crux of the problem, for future readers that may need help, is that CS1 requires FIXED format. Since I left out all the parameters in the original program, it defaulted to VARIABLE and caused the error .

Opry99er Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It's always nice to solve something like that. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
