Subj: BOOSTER PAK WITH CASSETTE PROBLEM

Hi, Drew,
 I mentioned a while back I'd been unable to save to cassette with my model 102
w/ Booster Pak.  I tried it with two different cables and two recorders.  I
finally decided TS must have had to sacrifice the option to use a cassette
recorder for the sake of the Pak's other goodies.
 Wrong.
 I had two "defective" cables.  Using a multimeter, I checked continuity to
confirm the pins were set up right, and they were.  Why don't they work?  Beats
me.  Maybe the small plug to the Remote jack doesn't make reliable contact.
 At any rate, I bought a Tandy CCR-83 recorder the other day and it and it's
cable work fine.
 By the way, the guys at the Tandy outlet store near me indicated that Tandy is
dumping the TPDD2's, CCR-83's, etc.  I guess the Model 102 is next.  Too bad.
