22 More Microbee Tapes recovered - ChickenMan - 27-10-2024
Thanks to MbeeTech for making his recently obtained tape collection available to be recorded. Recorded at 44kHz and saved as stereo 16bit WAV files. A number of them needed manual repair in spots, they were saved as 8bit mono WAV files. All load error free into ube512 set as a PC85.
Most were written or converted by Charles Osborne and on plain cassettes but a few had commercial labels which were scanned and added here. There were also a few commercial programs we already had as tapes and scans of their labels. Most of the tapes were 1200baud but some had 300baud recordings as well, but not all were recoverable.
The tapes recovered are these, some are new programs to the collection, while a few we have as disk files but not as tapes -
Acey Ducey - converted by Charles Osborne

Those marked as Binary files need to be loaded with LOADM (CLOADM), the rest are Basic files so just use LOAD (CLOAD). Unfortunately there were no manuals for any of them including Extended Basic and FIG Forth, but some are Menu driven with help.
