UPDATE: Upon posting my previous article, my tape came out of hiding. Of course, it raised several other issues: How do I transfer a program from tape to disk? (It has one basic line, which is a sys call to a machine language program) I can load the program, VWP, from tape if I use my 16K expander board, but of course, it won't run with that expander. If I use the Data20 cartridge, I can't find the program on the tape. Catch-22. Besides this problem, I suspect that the Data20 cartridge may be flaky. I think that I have had problems using it with the 1541. I have a Samsung color monitor, and perhaps it doesn't like the video output from the Data20. I realize that the Data20 Corporation have probably long since folded, but I would appreciate any help I can get on this (sorry for forgetting to state that in my last posting). The address that is on the cartridge is Data 20 Corporation 23011 Moulton Parkway Suite B10 Laguna Hills, CA 92653 (714)-770-2366 This is a second, or third, hand cartridge. I tried the phone number a couple of years ago, but, surprise, no answer. I'd like a manual, schematics, and the program that goes along with it (I don't trust the taped one I have). I also wouldn't mind the source to the ROM. I'm not asking for much, am I?
