#517 Cannot print to text file on Mac OS X
Steps:
1. Write a BASIC program using x64sc on Mac OS X
2. Select "Peripheral Printers" from the Settings menu
3. Select the "Unit #4" tab
4. Make sure "Use IEC Device" is checked
5. Set "Printer Emulation" to "File Output"
6. Set Driver to ASCII
7. Set "File #1" to a valid file name path
8. Issue the following commands in the emulator:
OPEN 1,4
CMD 1
LIST
9. Close the emulator
Expected:
The BASIC program listing should be written to the text file.
Actual:
No file is created.
is this still a problem with trunk?
What happens if you add the rest of the usual BASIC commands?
When I do PRINT#1,1 I get
?DEVICE NOT PRESENT ERROR
and I do not get any output written to file file after issuing CLOSE 1 and the emulator.
This is the console output:

If this is a valid issue, then it is still an issue in Vice 3.4 GTK3 on macOS & Linux. Haven't tested Windows. However, if I change
OPEN 1,4toOPEN 1,4,7then it seems to work in both macOS and Linux. I don't know enough about this to know what the right behaviour is, but this is not a mac specific issue so i'm removing the macOS tag. Also seems to be fairly easy to make it segfault by messing with printer settings after theOPEN.It works in Windows. (The "IEC Device" setting has no effect.)
