[C64] Trying to LOAD and RUN floppy disks from 1990-1995.
-
I have disassembled and dedusted the disk drive and still get this error on an Commodore 64. Is it probable that the floppy diskettes are simply demagnetized by now? I am trying to recover some of dad's old essays and poems.
Edit: the error channel says READ ERROR

40 years later I learn that I didn't need to type the spaces

It's all right. 😂

Floppy discs and their drives are notoriously fragile.
I'd start with making sure that the drive head is clean and not rusted. Test on a new floppy disc.
I'd be very surprised if the standard LOAD command would still work, and I'd start with making a block copy of the disc(s).
You can access individual disc blocks from within BASIC, I wrote a disc editor at the time to do just that.

I'm going to start with this tomorrow and then read my C64 manual to try to find those block copy commands. Will the measly 64K of memory hold the copy/dump though?
In any case, thank you so much!

You'll likely need the 1541 user manual and the command you're looking for is BLOCK-READ. Have fun!

Load the directory first to see if there is a program to run. Load"$",8
Then list it
I think if the first program you wantes to load wasI binary you needed load"*",8,1
