I need to write and read a data in a disk, it's 2 bytes i wont save a counter in the disk. I don't know if exist a function like open ... for output as#1. In that case i don't remember the syntax....... this is only my idea, if exist another command to do that ..... better.

I need to save a counter and load it after the reset, I remember in the real msx1 when push the reset button the ram don't reinitialized, but in the emulator it's different.

I try in my MSX to write Poke 34000,12 ..... i reset and when i digit print peek(34000) the result is 12, but in the emulator it's not the same.

For that i need to write this counter in the disk then i can read the correct value after the reset.

Thans.

in basic it is
OPEN "filename" for output as#1
print#1,var
CLOSE#1

then

OPEN"filename" for input as#1
line input#1,a$:var=val(a$)
close#1

Thanks, i work on it immediately.

Many emulators have Hard reset (power off and power back on). and Soft reset (reset button). Hard reset is the one that clears memory as well. If your program just need to reset the computer, you can use DEFUSR=0:A=USR(0) to reset the computer without clearing the memory.

memry DRAM can save data up to 5 seconds and more without power.

up to 3 seconds is safe to get a clean data!

later you gets a bit corruptions

10 seconds and more it is all destroyed.

but that depends on brandname and model of ram chip
