Helio,

Look at your message below. You specified Disk EDTASM not the ROM Pak.

You have several options of which only one makes sense. You can learn how to 
create tape images and add files to them. You can patch the EDTASM ROM Pak with 
Roger Schrag's "Superpatch for EDTASM+" which adds disk file storage, or you can 
stop using the ROM Pak version and get the disk version.

David Keil's web page had Disk EDTASM available but the site seems to be down.
You can go to http://www.tandycoco.com/rsdos.html  and grab the zip file
Coco Downunder Rsdos Files. Included in that is a "disk-edtasm" zip file which 
has the software on a .dsk image and scans of the manual.
