Nascom 1/Nascom 2

I am not able to load and run snapshots (.nas) on Nascom 1 emulation.
With Nascom 2 emulation I have no problems.

Also can it be, the tape emulation for both drivers is not finish yet ?
Because the tape control menu is not available.

The tape emulation for at least nascom1 is broken by the cassette device update.

it has also never worked as a real tape: it loaded bits directly from CAS to memory

however, the cassette device update had the nice side effect to bring up these regressions which will eventually be fixed.

I have also a problem on windows gui.
Can not run
"-bios 1" or "-bios T1" = NASBUG1.T1 (original version)
"-bios 2" or "-bios T2" = NASBUG1.T2 (1978)
Even I select in Properties - Miscellanous - Bios - NasBug T1 or Nasbug T2
If i start the emulation it show me always Nasbug T4 (NASBUG 4).
The only way to start the right Bios is to run on command line.
As example: mess.exe nascom1 -bios T2

But with the core's ever-changing structures and validations we will be able to fix those when they are introduced and not when we somehow got a dump.

Microbee 56

Can not load (boot)disk images, get a crash.
Tested with gui and on command line.
With Nanowasp emulator no problems.

Some screenshots (not made by MESS) about old and new drivers for Eastern European Computers and Clones.
Some drivers are very new and not working at moment. So I not make shots.

I just took a quick look at the nascom drivers. The cassette port seems to be connected to a part (a 6402 uart) which is not hooked up in the driver code. It looks like this may require a bit more work to get cassette support working again.

I agree. It seems other emulators have the problem too.
Also tried to load the basic tape according to the original Apple Basic manual without success.

About the Apple 3 software you could find some in this link:
