Subj: TAPE RECOVERY TECHNIQUES
Greetings all, My PDD2 is on the fritz (temporarily, I hope) and in the meantime am going back to that venerable old file saving method, the cassette tape! Have some old text files I'm having trouble recovering, and downloaded the file TAPE.DOC from the TechRef section here for some tips. There are four versions of what look to be the same basic program, and I am able to pull those out in ASCII, transfer them via null modem from my PC to the Model 100, and convert them to a .BA file very easily. However, I can't seem to get them to work... is anyone familiar with these four files, and can anyone recommend one in particular? Or does anyone have some other tricks they'd be willing to share? My tape deck is the Tandy CR-82. I can hear the "screeching" noise as the file is found, but nothing gets recovered. ... Can't think of what else I need to post here by way of background information, so I'll just quit here and hope someone is still familiar with the old tape file save method! TIA! ... Paul
