Minor problem with the Tape unit in my VIC-20
Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2020 4:46 am
Hi,
I recently got my old VIC-20 from my mother's house and found that it works exactly as it did almost 40 years ago. And at that time (same as now) I had a minor problem that I'd like to fix now, if it is not too complex. The problem is that, when I try to load anything from the casette unit, by typing "LOAD", it doesn't show me the 'PRESSS PLAY ON TAPE' but directly shows "LOADING" message. Something similar happens if I try to save anything. Appart from that, both, LOAD and SAVE processes work OK.
Have you ever found this problem?. If so, do you know where the problem might be?.
Thanks!
