@blobloblo6 That is odd. BASICA is not supposed to run on non-IBM PC's, since it makes use of Cassette BASIC from the PC's ROM, which non-IBM PC's didn't have. GW-BASIC was the version of BASIC that provided the same functionality as BASICA for non-IBM PC's. Is that an original diskette? Or could it be that someone stuck GW-BASIC on it but called it BASIC for some reason?
GW-Basic was for clones, real IBM's ran BASICA!

@CaptainChaos Oddly enough, the diskette I have of BASICA loads up and says GW-BASIC. At least they'll both do the same thing I want them to.

@CaptainChaos I'm betting that it was overwritten as you said.
