If there is no DOS loaded then the Sam accepts "device n" and will save and load through the MIDI port. I don't think I have tried this with two Sams, but I have used it with a Sam and a +3 by writing a prog on the +3 to imitate what the Sam does. If SamDOS is loaded then device n is no longer a valid device. In order to use it you have to poke a sysvar to pretend there is no DOS. If MasterDOS is loaded then you can do it by putting "n:" at the beginning of the file name. I seem to remember there was some quirk about doing this, but I forget exactly what. Maybe it was that "device n" didn't work but putting "n:" in the name did. imc
