- Nope, Drive was the FIRST Number, and 8 was the First Hard Drive Number.
- It was/is ,8,1 or ,9,1 or ,10,1, ect. Just a ,8 would work, but usually a
- ,8,1 was the best. He would of been OK if he just didn't add the SPACE after
- the comma and then the Number.
-
- I think the tape drive was Nothen or a ,1 but it been So long since I've used
- a Tape drive on my Vic-20 them years Back, hell it was a while before I had a
- floppy drive for the C-64 I had, was still using the Tape Drive. God I hated
- when the program would Crash near the end of loading up after 30-45 mins of
- waiting. Them where the days.
