Insert the program cassette in
the program recorder.
If you're using a prerecorded
cassette, rewind the tape to its
beginning and continue with
step 1.
If you are using your own
cassette program, find the pro¬
gram you want on the tape by
pressing either REWIND or AD¬
VANCE. Use the tape counter to
locate the program (providing
you previously made note of its
location).
1
TypeCLOAD and press
RETURN. You'll hear a
beep from the computer
to remind you to press PLAY on
the program recorder.
2
After pressing the PLAY
button on the program
recorder,
press
the
RETURN key again on the com¬
puter console. The cassette tape
will start turning and your com¬
puter will load the program into
its memory.
If you get an Error 143 or Error
138 message on your television
screen during a loading pro¬
cedure, your tape leader (the non
magnetized strip wound ahead of
the actual recording tape) may be
too long. As a result, the computer
may be trying to read data where
none exists. Rewind the tape to
the beginning, then advance it ap¬
proximately 10 counts. Now begin
the loading procedure again.
