ON
CASSETTE
This copying procedure will work for both
BASIC and machine-language cassette
programs.
Inserting the Cassette
STEP 1
Turn on your TV or monitor. Set the TV/game
switch box to the COMPUTER setting, and tune
to
the channel you normally use with your Atari.
If you have a Model 1010 cassette recorder, turn
the recorder on also. (The Model 410 recorder
does not have an ON/OFF switch.)
STEP 2
Insert the Atari BASIC cartridge into your com-
puter. (You need the BASIC cartridge for this pro-
cedure even if you are using a machine-
language program because the backup program
you are about to write uses BASIC commands.)
IF YOU HAVE A MODEL 800 COMPUTER, use
the slot on the left side of the computer. FOR
MODELS 400 AND 800, insert the cartridge by
opening the slot door, dropping in the cartridge,
and closing the slot door. FOR THE MODEL
1200XL, the slot is on the left side of the com-
puter. Simply drop in the cartridge (there is no
slot door).
STEP 3
Once the cartridge is inserted, turn on your
computer.
