Answering my own question, (and if anyone else is interested), there is a
utility here: http://www.alphalink.com.au/~edsa/#kcs that will make WAV
files ine Kansas City Standard, or CUTS standard, from any input file, that
can be recorded to a tape. It can also decode audio WAV files into data.
Comes with documentation too, and looks pretty good.

The following MIGHT be a good place to start:

ZXTAPE 3.0 Its directed towards the zx81, but it could
be applicable to your application. Dunno. I've a feeling every
computers tape format is different, though.

And you can reverse your vehicle up steep sand dunes too (see Ice Cold in

I am pretty sure that UK Land Rovers had the starting handle at least
until the late 1970s... The series 3 workshop manual shows the special
dog bolt anyway.
The starting handle makes some maintenance jobs (setting the valve
clearances and the static ignition timing, for example) a lot easier too...

I checked... I can't seem to find any government controls on MEK in the
U.S. anywhere. And the MSDS reads essentially identically to the one for
Acetone.

I bought a gallon can of it at Home Depot last fall. They also
sell acetone, muriatic acid, and plenty of other "nasty"
chemicals.

Didn't you read the auction... it sold for that high because it is "Super
Rare". Now, if it was a name plate with the case still attached, that
isn't so rare... but to find just the name place sans case in the wild...
wow!
I hope my sarcasm isn't too strong. I'd maybe do a better job of making
it clear, but I'm a little busy with my pocket knife trying to pry the
name plates off some of my Apple II gear!

And Rich responded,
I know, but sometimes it is necessary to grossly inflate the value in
order to be allowed to enter the house with the latest "find". Oh and the
word she used was most definitely not "geek", but then again I suppose
that I should not have called her the C word in open court, but the more
chins than a Chinese phone book comment did make the judge laugh.
