I've been attempting to load an asm cassette image (SPWAR.CAS) into David Keil's TRS-80 Model III/4/4P emulator. If anyone has had experience adjacent to this, I would appreciate some help.

It's been awhile since I used a Model III/4, so my recollection of how it's properly done is a bit shakey, but this sounds familiar:

1) Boot into cassette basic.

2) Run SYSTEM monitor.

3) Load asm in monitor by typing "filename" or * in at the *? prompt. If you have the tape properly cued and the baud rate set, you'll see a pair of asterisks in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

4) When the load is done, jump into the loaded code with \

I'm falling down on step 3. One of the progress asterisks changes to a C, and the load prematurely (I think) stops.

I've also tried the Model I emulator and SPWAR1.CAS, but I've not had any luck with that either.

On a related note: It looks like Ira Goldklang's site at one time had manuals and a CMD version of this game, but I can't see how to actually get the files. Does anyone know where the archive has gone?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Ok, I got it.

Picking apart the *.CAS file that I was trying to load had initially suggested that the filename was "SPWAR" There is other data in the file, of course, but that plaintext seemed like a good guess.

It turns out the needed filename is "SPWAR " I finally got it to load with Cass? L, at 500 baud, with the aforementioned filename. Odd, though, I can dimly remember that "*" was supposed to load whatever file, regardless of filename.

I blew away a few "Jovians," and feel much better now.

Thanks for your efforts.
