assign TT1: DDA
Mount DDA0: 'file name'.dsk
E11 comes back with can't open file.
The apostrophes (or quotations marks) should be around the entire filename,
not just the part before the .dsk extension. And you don't need them at all
if the filename doesn't contain blanks or forward slashes or other weird
characters.
It will let me just mount it with out a file. but if
I'm going to write to it, I would guess there needs to
be a container file.
It's true, a DD: controller with no working units isn't very useful!
E11 doesn't give an error message though, since it doesn't want to be
picky about the order of the ASSIGN TT and MOUNT DD commands. For all
it knows you were just about to attach files/etc. to DDA.
