Johannes: you could also use HPDrive to emulate a 7970 9-track tape drive
or 9144A cartridge tape drive, so you wouldn't need to write your own
emulator. Your CS/80 boot ROM should be able to read the first block of
the 9144A tape image into memory, although the code read in must be
arranged in a certain way. Let me know if you want the details.
