If the tape encoding system is anything like the really simple FM the
IIRC it uses the CUTS tones, genrated and decoded in hardware (a custom
chip called the 'Serial ULA' linked to a 6850). It should be very easy to
archive the tapes.
And to answer another quesiton in the thread. the RISC OS versionm of BBC
BASIC, as used on the Archimedes machines, etc, does have an ARM
assembler built in. Or at least the versions I've used do.
