Hello! (and apologies for posting in English). I'm a new P2000T owner, and I've just got mine running. It's a lovely machine. But I'm trying to understand how to save a program to tape (so I can use the SERIAL.BAS mention above - that's soooo cool!).
I've got some Philips tapes, and I put one in the machine. I do SHIFT-7 and it asks me if I want the tape formatted. I say yes. It appears to rewind the tape (noisily), then fast forward a tiny bit and stop with OK. I then enter CSAVE "TEST", it rewinds the tape and then sticks. Eventually it times out with 'Cassette Error I" which I think is 'rewind timeout'. Any idea what this means? What is the correct behaviour?
Also, I note my machine is a P200T/102, and all those I can see in photos are a /38 - does this mean mine has more memory that usual?
