I have the original Radio Shack Series-1 Editor Assembler. It is a cassette-based software package, however an article from 80-Micro long ago provided a patch from Apparat that allowed disk access. My problem is I no longer remember the command to load a source file from disk. I've tried the obvious letter 'L', and the "Apparat Appendage Version 3.1" banner does appear, but I immediately receive a "Bad Paramaters" error message. I've tried L <space> file name, plus L in combination with every possible letter, number and symbol I can think of to no avail. If anyone can remember the syntax for this, I would be forever indebted. Many thanks from Cleveland, Ohio. P.S. I'm running this on a Model/III

I haven't got the manuals at hand, but if I remember correct it's: L D=<fname>/<ext> To load from tape (i.e. old style 'L' command: L T=<name> If this doesn't work, mail me. I still got MB's of software. Personally though, I preferred using M80/L80. I even wrote an extensive graphics package with it, extending DiskBASIC to allow several new commands for drawing, including 3-D with perspective.

It defaults to /SRC if no extension is given, and a filename of NONAME/SRC if no filename is supplied. marc -- Marc Wiener | marc@pinet.aip.org American Institute of Physics | marc@aip.bitnet 500 Sunnyside Blvd. | Woodbury, NY 11797 | (516)349-7800

I can't really help you with the problem but I would like to get a copy of the patch if possible. mvlewis@eos.ncsu.edu

This may be true for an original Disk version of EDTASM, but Apparat's version is somewhat different: "L D=filename". I don't think a default extension is used, but I can't check at the moment.
