I'm having a ton of trouble saving a program on a cassette tape using
Altair 680 basic. Was there a KCACR basic made without the CSAVE
command? My basic appears to have a CSAVE command, but it won't accept the
name!!!!! : (
I'm sending this to two groups. I've been at this problem for hours
now... : (
I'll post a transcript below. Let me know what I'm doing wrong! : (
--------------------
.J FD00 (cassette bootstrap rom address)
(basic loading)
(basic loaded)
.J 0000 (run basic...)
MEMORY SIZE?
TERMINAL WIDTH? 80

OK
10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
CSAVE A
?TM ERROR
OK
--------------------
TM is a type mismatch error. SM is for a command it doesn't
understand. Watch...
--------------------
CSAVE A
?TM ERROR
OK
CSAVE
?SN ERROR
OK
AHHHH!
?SN ERROR
OK
AHHHH! A
?SN ERROR
OK
--------------------
Am I wrong assuming that because it gives me a TM error instead of SN that
it is "trying" to work? I get the same things for CLOAD... How in the
world are you supposed to save something to tape! : (
If I have the wrong version of basic, anyone have the right one? What will
it take for me to get a copy! : ) (first smile in this e-mail... ; ) )
Thanks,
Grant
