I don't have a NADSBox. I'm using: - Rex ROM for local storage on one M102. Active workspace is always saved to Rex ROM, I do this very frequently. - Matrix printer connected to the M102 I'm actively working on. When I'm finished, I print out the BASIC program version I just wrote. Just in case. - Another M102 via serial null modem cable for duplication of the 1st M102's active workspace, usually just for the file I'm working on. This second one does not have a Rex ROM. - PC USB serial adapter with a null modem cable for additional backups and file transfers, and for more permanent storage.
What also works and I have tested: - Audio storage (cassette interface) to Zoom H4n recorder, 48 kHz rate without compression. This uses SD cards. What does not work (for me at least): - Audio storage (cassette interface) to an iPhone (I suscept there is audio compression that coreupts the data, but did not check it) So, a high bitrate, no-compression audio recorder would be a good alternative to a cassette drive. You could use a cheap laptop with the freeware program Audacity, too. Then again, cassette drives (any recording deck will do) are ideal for the job. And cassettes are very cheap. I usually tweak a single BASIC program for months, so there is no need for a massive storage anyway. Cheers!
