Subject: Fwd: unknown data tape
Speaking of audio cassette storage, I received this inquiry
to my web. Click the link to hear the data he has... What's
odd to my ear is that the data seems to be packeted between
carrier. Might this be someone's custom data, as opposed to
ordinary program load/save?
If I would have to make a guess, I would say "ECMA 34" format. It sounds
a
lot like the cassettes used on Philips minis like the P300, P400, P6000 etc.
ISTR that the recording was serial, recording speed 6000 bps, one track,
with 250K bytes on each side.
