Hi together, i am a newbie to msx and recently purchased a toshiba TX-10.
When I connect it to my tape recorder, the recorder always runs. When I type motor off, the tape keeps running and when I type motor on, the tape stops. Its swapped?
When I save a program on tape, the running tape stops for a few seconds, the the tx-10 says OK and then the tape continues running. When I unplug the remote, I can save a program and also load it properly..
I already swapped the +/- on the tape recorder plug by resoldering it, because I thought it would solve the problem, but its exactly the same effect.
What can I do??
Thanks in advance.

If you push start right away & control through computer, the tape normally stays pressed at "PLAY" position but with motor off. In this position the tape is pressed between a small metal pin & rubber roll, a long time this way can produce wrinkles in the tape. Not good especially with fragile old tapes. Under manual control the tape is either running, or this rubber roll doesn't press against the tape (when stopped). Summarized: whenever the tape is stopped for more than a minute or so, use mechanical STOP button rather than PAUSE or computer-controlled motor on/off.
