While it is possible to use such machines to store programs
from most
home computers, I don't think many people did. Didn't one of the Elektor machines use 45s for
software
distribution? Wasn't there once a music CD with software
on one track (for a Spectrum?)?
Actually it was a 45-rpm disk. The program was on one side and music was
on the other. The idea was to load the program into the Spectrum, then
flip the record and run the program and play the music at the same time.
There was some sort of way to sync the program to the music (or vice versa)
for a "multimedia experience."
