SAVING PROGRAMS

TO CASSETTE

Although the recommended proce-

dure for saving a program is to store

only one program per tape side, it

is possible to save several programs

on each side of a blank cassette.

Make sure the ATARIBASIC

cartridge is inserted into your

Home Computer.

Insert a blank cassette into

the Program Recorder.

Turn on the television, and

then the computer.

Rewind the tape to the

beginning.

Set the counter to 000. If

you are only saving one pro-

gram on that side of the

cassette, you are now ready

to record. Ifyou have other pro-

grams on that side, continue with

step 6.

Press ADVANCEon the

Program Recorder to wind

the tape forward to the

end of the last program re-

corded. Then wind the tape forward

approximately 10more counts (to

make sure you do not record over

another program). Now you are

ready to record the next program.

Make note of the tape count, then

type

BBllaD

and press

i;l;ii@1

on the computer. Youwill hear two

beeps (to remind you to press both

PLAYand RECORD), then press

i; ji 1iUI

again on the computer. The

cassette will begin recording.

Always write down the program's

first and last counter numbers so

you can easily find them.

Ifyou get an Error 143or Error 138

message on your television screen

during a loading procedure, your

tape leader (the non-magnetized

strip wound ahead of the actual

recording tape) might be too long.

As a result, the computer may be

trying to read data where no data

exists. Should this occur, rewind the

tape to the beginning, then advance

it approximately 10counts. Now

begin the loading procedure again.

Ifyou are recording your own pro-

gram on a new cassette you will see

two tabs on the back end of the

cassette. The tabs make it possible

for you to write (or save) programs

to the cassette. If you do not want

your programs or data erased acci-

dentally after you have finished

recording on both sides of the tape,

break offthese tabs (all pre-

recorded tapes are sold with the

tabs broken off).Ifyou want to re-

cord over data or programs already

stored on a cassette, place cello-

phane tape over the areas where

the tabs were. This will deactivate

the write-protect features ofthe

cassette.

MAINTAINING

YOUR CASSETTES

The following suggestions will

help keep your cassettes and the

programs they contain in good
