THE
VIC
DATASSEnE
You will soon find that entering all of your programs by hand
is
tedious. A
data
recorder
will
solve this problem. There are two units that
will work with your VIC
20;
both are basically the same. One
is
the original
PET
/ CBM digital cassette drive, and the other
is
the VIC Datassette
(Figure
1-5).
One advantage the Datassette has over the older unit
is
a tape
counter. This makes it easier to locate programs on your tapes. The
operation and installation of these two units
is
the same. To
use
them,
follow these instructions.
Look
at
the cassette interface on the back
of
the VIC
20
(Figure
1-2).
The connector has an offset slot between two of the contacts, as shown in
Figure
1-6.
The VIC Datassette has a plug with a divider that fits over the
