Ok, I need some education. On other home type machines, a standard

What would be an example of a different setup?
Don't laugh - I'm serious.
I ran across a Advanced Diagnostics cassette tape for an IBM PC 5150.
I've never seen such a thing before. Besides the obvious
cassette-to-cassette copy (which I'm not equipped to do), how else
would one preserve this? A WAV file?
Sorry, I'm not sure whether you are saying this is an *audio*
cassette or a *data* cassette. Data cassettes had servo/clock
tracks recorded on them to retrieve the data -- i.e. I doubt
you will be able to read such a cassette without a data cassette
drive.
