600XL tape loads but doesn't run program


Recommended Posts

So, I'm involved in multiple hobbies, and I have to say thus far THIS has been the most helpful forum I've been on yet. Many other hobbyist forums tend to dismiss the "n00b" questions as frustrating, redundant and annoying. I definitely appreciate all the help. Seems like a very cool community.,

 

That said, I ran the program baktra gave me and voila! IT WORKED!!! So stoked the equipment isn't faulty, and very excited to start the initial modding to get actual programs to load. The 64k upgrade seems pretty easy and straightforward assuming my chips have sockets, but I am pretty sure even desoldering and resoldering won't be too difficult. One step at a time...

 

By the way, the conversation with my fiance went something like this.

 

Me: So, I joined a forum to help me with the Atari

Her: Oh...you're into the weirdest stuff, you know that.

Me: I know. I also got some good advice

Her: Oh?

Me: Yeah, so you know all the beeping for the last few days

Her: ...yeah, I was about to throttle you, yes.

Me: Turns out it never would have worked in the first place. Not enough memory in the computer

Her: ...wait...so I suffered through that for -

Me: Yeah, basically

Her: *angry glare*

 

I guess I could have muted it, but I like the sound :-D
