PET 2001-8 cassette loading problems

Post by Johnrh »

Hey fellas I just picked up a 2001-8 pet off craigslist and I’m making sure everything works, it came with one cassette program and when ever I try to load it it seems to find something and tries to run it but just fails and goes back to the ready screen.

Do you guys know what could be up? Just a faulty cassette? I’ve attached photos of what pops up on the screen and what program I am trying to use. Thanks.

Ray Carlsen says that it could be the equipment or the cassette. In order to see if the cassette is at fault, you'd have to see if the cassette loads on a different cassette deck. Can you connect another datasette to the back of your PET?
