Subject: Tape To Disk Transfer problems!!

Hi
I need some help here - I have been trying to transfer some game to Disks
from their original tapes - I have two games that I really like and want to
transfer - Robotron 2084 by Atari and Cosmic Kidnap by Superior.

The problem is, I have gotten them over to disk, and tried to run them but
no success - they both need loading in at addresses below &1100 - something
impossible to do on a disk machine without overwriting the DFS.  So, I used
a downloader for the machine code parts - using this code for 2084 a *INFO
2084 gives this information: $.2084 000500 001d00 005300 0A5

So, this is the downloader used:

10*KEY0 *LOAD"2084"1900|M*TAPE|MFORT%=0TO&5300 STEP
4:T%!&500=T%!PAGE:NEXT|MCALL&1D00|M

20*FX 138,0,128

30END

This does not work,  I am using a machine with a DNFS, but not actually on
an ECONET, so page is at &1b00, I always change it down to &1900 before
running this.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there a better downloader than this to use? Please help!

Thanks,
