USING
THE
VIC
DATASSE"E
The VIC
20
Datassette saves you the time
and
tedium
of
keying in
programs over and over again. The Datassette
will
store BASIC programs
and retrieve them when you need them.
The operations the Datassette
will
perform go well beyond the scope of
this chapter. Chapter 8 explores the full potential of the Datassette for
storing and retrieving data.
Saving
a
Program
Make sure the short program you entered in the last section
is
still in
memory by typing LIST.
If
it isn't, reenter it. To save it on a cassette, type
SAVE"RALPH"
The VIC will respond with
PRESS
RECORD
&
PLAY
ON
TAPE
Press PLAY and RECORD simultaneously.
If
you press just the PLAY
key, the VIC will send data
to
the Datassette
but
nothing will be stored on
tape. After you press
PLAY and RECORD, the VIC will respond with
OK
SRVINo
RRLPH
While the VIC
is
saving the program on the Datassette, the cursor
disappears. When it
is
finished, the Datassette will stop, the VIC will display
the READY message, and the flashing cursor
will
return.
