18i-TB to precise.

IO channel is set to 4.

I can load programs no problem the long way - CARD > F READ etc. Been doing it this way since we got the machine four or five years ago.

I cannot load programs using Oxxxx > READ / INPUT. Attempting to do so causes "MEMORY CARD ERROR 0114" or "FILE NOT FOUND".

M198 also doesn't seem to work in any format that I've tried, some combination of the same errors. I've tried using program number and file number with no dice.

Programs are plain text, filenames are 8 characters long max, no file extension, work just fine the long way.

What am I missing?
 
M198 from a card requires this: M198 P1234 where P1234 is O1234 on the card. No extensions, just the 4 digit program number.

The below should work also but I have had spotty success with this. The left and right arrow symbols are important. In this case you can use filenames but it has to be explicit.

M198 P1234

M198 <TEST1234.TXT>

M198 <TEST1234>

Set the following;

#138.7=1

#3402.2-1

#6030=198

Thanks, I'll give that a shot when the machine is free and report back!
