I recently sold a C2N232 interface to someone in Germany. When he plugged
it into cassette port #1, the computer crashed and sometimes went to the
machine language monitor. A normal tape drive works in both ports, but
the C2N232 only works in port #2. Does anyone have an explanation?
The computer is a North American PET2001N32, and he uses it with a 220->110
volt transformer that has enough wattage (400 VA). The only electrical
differences between the C2N232 and the tape drive should be that the C2N232
takes some power from the +5V line all the time, while the tape drive might
not, and that the cassette motor power line is not connected to the C2N232.
