CHAPTER

CASSETTE
AND
DISK
STORAGE
WITH
THE
APPLE
lie
Introduction
Generally,
a disk
drive
is
used
for
storage
with
the
Apple
lie
.
However,
a
cassette
recorder
can
also
be
used
with
the
lie
for
data
storage.
In
this
chapter,
we
will
discuss
cassette
storage
procedures
followed
by disk
storage
procedures.
If
you
are
using
the
cassette
recorder
rather
than
the
disk
unit
for
data
storage,
keep
the
following points
in
mind:
• DOS
is
not
available
when
using
the
cassette.
Applesoft
and
the
Monitor
are
the
only
available
systems software.
•
Since
Integer
BASIC
is
loaded
from
diskette,
it
is
not
available
on
cassette.
Therefore,
Integer
BASIC
programs
cannot
be
loaded
and
run
from cassette.
CASSETTE
INSTALLATION
&
OPERATION
Nearly
any
standard
cassette
recorder
can
be
used
with
the
lie
.
The
cassette
unit
is
installed
by
attaching
a
double
cable
(or
two
individual cables)
from
the
cassette
in
and
out
jacks
at
the
rear
of
the
lie
to
the
jacks
on
the
cassette
recorder.
One
cable
should
connect
the
cassette
input
jack
on
the
lie
to
the
earphone
or
monitor
jack
on
the
cassette
recorder.
The
other
cable
should
connect
the
lle's cassette
output
jack
to
the
cassette
recorder's
microphone
jack.
The
cassette unit
is
operated
in
much
the
same
manner
with
the
lie
to
record
data
as it
is
used
to
record
sound
.
The
play
and
record
keys must
be
depressed
to
save
data
on
the
cassette.
The
play key
must
be
depressed
when
data
is
to
be
read
from
the
cassette
into
RAM.
The
rewind
and
fast forward keys
are
used
to
position
the
tape.
