You cannot create a new file with BSAVE with a new type.  You must CREATE it
first.

CREATE test,t$ff
BSAVE test,a$2000,l100,t$ff

You can then BLOAD it as well, but you'll almost certainly need to give the
address:

BLOAD test,a$2000,t$ff

I'm not really sure what you're up to, you may run into other problems.
