This is because the SDX CLI uses kernel drive IDs (as per drive letters in MS-DOS, etc) instead of CIO device names. You're trying to get a directory on drive 'D8:'. This design makes it impossible to directly reference CIO device handlers via their one letter ID from the SDX command prompt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I can't seem to load files I save. If doing something in BASIC, should the extension be xxx.BAS? or should it be xxx.ATR? When I try to load (either LOAD"H6:TEST.BAS" or from Boot Image) I get error 21. Any idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to boot a DOS in order to load/save files in BASIC, the DOS would usually be booted from an ATR configured as D1: but could also be a SpartaDOS_X cartridge. The extension for BASIC files is usually .BAS, but could also be .LST or similar if LIST "D1:FILENAME.LST" was used instead of SAVE "D1:FILENAME.BAS" when the file was created.

H6: has line ending translation enabled, which breaks BASIC programs saved in binary with SAVE. Use H1-H4: with LOAD/SAVE and H6-H9: with LIST/ENTER. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
