[vcf-midatlantic] Help! I cant get asciiexpress to work with my II Plus

[Dan FitzGerald]

Bart,

Yes, I have tried that as well.  No dice :-(

I'm not sure why I should be getting any errors doing this stuff.  Is
Apple II tape stuff finicky?

Did you try both the HIFI & 8KFI versions?  For some reason I had to
use
8KFI to create disks because HIFI wouldn't work (checksum error.)  I'm
using an Apple][e & Pixel3a with an inexpensive audio cable.
