Copying tape to disk
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 12:12 pm
I have a spectrum +3 with quite a few floppy disks. I was wanting to copy from tape to disk and have been following this guide:
http://www.thespectrumshow.co.uk/Feature4.aspx
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfI3ACO8SLQ&t=388s
However helpful the guide is, it seems to be missing vital information out for me. For example at exactly the 8 minute mark, the video is edited out how he got from here:
10 CLEAR VAL “54554”: LOAD “v2” CODE: RANDOMIZE USR VAL “54555”
To here:
10 BORDER 0: INK 4: PAPER 0: CLS 11 CLEAR VAL “54554” 12 LOAD “egg2” CODE 13 PRINT AT 10,8; “Press Any Key” 14 PAUSE 0 20 RANDOMIZE USR VAL “54555”
Are you supposed to just delete all of the first entry, then type in the second? Also, I don't know at what points to press play on the tape. Could anyone help me with clear steps with everything included? I don't really know much about basic, I only typed a few games out in +3 basic, like bomber city, out of a library book back in the late 80's/early 90's.
Thanks
