V2XT; Downloading from Floopy Disk ?

[v488]

I have not been able to get my programs to load off the floppy at machine. I put the disk in A drive and hit F7 for loading program. I get it to read A:\ and the 2 programs on the disk show on the screen. 600.TXT & 123456.TXT are my programs. I type in A:\600.TXT and i'm getting an ERRER IN READING DISK!! Where and how do i load the programs? thanks mike

Hi Mike,

Been several years since I ran a V2XT. When you get to the A:\ you do not type the program name in. Try hitting the enter key, that should highlight the first program in the A:\ directory list, then you should be able to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down the list of programs you have in A:\, when you get to the one you want hit enter again, that should load the program.
