The file "cassetteDemo.tap" is an image of a cassette tape created by saving programs from 8K BASIC using the "CSAVE" command. The tape contains two BASIC games, hangman and lunar lander.

You can load a program from this tape by opening a second terminal emulator window (in addition to the console window) and connecting it to the second serial port on the back of the Altair Clone. By default, the second serial port is configured as an 88-SIO port at address 6/7. This is same serial port and address used by the original Altair cassette interface board (the 88-ACR).  

  To load the hangman program type: CLOAD "H"
  To load the lunar lander program type: CLOAD "L"

After typing the load command and pressing return, use the TeraTerm "File->Send File" menu option to send the file "cassetteDemo.tap" to the Altair (be sure the "Binary" checkbox is checked). BASIC scans the data coming in from the cassette looking for the one character file name specified in the CLOAD command ("H" or "L"), then loads that program.

Programs can be added to the same file or written to a new file as follows:

1) Use the TeraTerm "File->Log..." menu option to select a file to write as the cassette tape. Check the "Binary" checkbox. Check the "Append" check box if you want to add to an existing cassette tape. Click "Save" to start the file save process.

2) Type CSAVE "x" in BASIC where x is a one character "file name" that is different than any other file name on the tape.  

3) After the CSAVE operation completes and BASIC displays "OK," click on the TeraTerm:Log icon on the Windows taskbar to display the TeraTerm Log dialog box. Choose "Close" to finish the file save operation.
