 Dave,

I've got all these tapes, but I'm not sure how well they still work. I'm
planning to convert them to .wav files and save them to CD Real Soon
Now. 

Stay in touch,
Jack 
Hi Jack,

Thanks for the response. I would appreciate it very much if you could contact
me when you have the files converted.

I've been thinking about what would be the best way to "transport" this
code.
A CD recorded at 44khz 16-bit should work OK - another option would be to load
the tapes into the machine and then dump the binary over the serial port - thats
what I want to ultimately do as I want to be able to load the software into a
PC based simulator (yet to be written unless someone knows of an existing one).

Regards,

Dave
