Lots of new Sorcerer Tapes recovered, their Manuals & Tape labels - ChickenMan - 27-05-2024
Thanks to Ian Mavric for making a box full of Sorcerer original tapes and manuals available for recording and scanning. Tapes recorded were at 44.1kHz and saved as stereo 16bit WAV files. These were then sent to Digitaker were he was able to recover all the files to loading/working condition, a great effort and many thanks. They were all tested by loading into a real Sorcerer Mark 1 & 2 as well the latest MAME emulator. The 3 different SED[am] files are to be used depending on your Sorcerer's memory, so choose the one that suits your Sorcerer. You need to read the Manual for String Magic Saver for the process to use these files. Music_System_II is a good music composing and playing program, see its manual (four_voice_music_system_manual.pdf) for its operation. Most of these Tapes were written by Australians or available from Dick Smith.
Some of the tapes were 1200 baud only but Digitaker was then able to save them out as a 300 baud file as well, thanks, so that both speeds are available. The baud rate is included in the file name as well if it is a BASIC program to aid in loading.
Also supplied were Manuals for some of these files with one updated with better quality. Some we already have the manuals. The tape labels were also scanned and replaced all of the poor quality ones we currently have in the repository.
So in the Vintage Repository in the Exidy_Sorcerer\Software\Tapes folder we placed
