Comment on Found a program I wrote in 1981 and decided to bring it back to life

Comments

Has anyone tried playing an old cassette tape, from a commodore for example, on a tape player, audio output to computer. Then transcribing? It would be cool to see how good or relevant some of our old programs might be. I have a mining program, from 1982, that calculates overburden tonnage, and so on, from user inputs. Similar to old DOS software, later updated to Windows, etc.

I haven't done this, but I've bookmarked a few.

Audiotap, for Commodore 64 - https://wav-prg.sourceforge.io/audiotap.html

WAV2CAS and CAS2WAV, for a Atari 8-bit - http://home.planet.nl/~ernest/atarixle.html

TI-99/Sim, for the TI - http://mrousseau.org/programs/ti99sim/

CAS Tools, for MSX - http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~vincentd/
