The Series B module does not support the 1770-SA/SB data recorder (cassette recorder).

Important: Because these calls are no longer needed to program PROMs,
the Series B does not support these Series A calls. Note that if you call
one of these calls you do not receive an error message, but return to the
main program without performing a task.

See Chapters 12 and 13 for more information on call routines.

The 1771-DB Series B, BASIC module provides 1771 backplane support
instead of SLC

backplane support. The data types, commands,

statements and call routines are similar between the two modules.
These calls are different:

This 1771-DB call:

Is equivalent to this 1746-BAS call:

32 (enable/disable processor interrupt)

20 and 21

33 (transfer data from PRT1 or PRT2 to CPU files)
