<p>Initial version out of forum</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Read error codes are presented when using tape with Amstrad CPC computers. The possible read error codes are: <br /> <br /> *'''Read error a''': The signal is dropped or timing is incorrect. <br /> *'''Read error b''': CRC error. <br /> *'''Read error c''': Invalid file type / seems to be used with &quot;CAS CHECK&quot;. This is where you are comparing data in memory with data written to tape. So effectively a verify that data was written correctly. <br /> *'''Read error d''': Block is too large to fit in the buffer. (given when you do a CAT on large blocks)&lt;br&gt;</div>
