Kirkman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I was going through my Atari ST disks recently and found a cassette tape I had long forgotten. I had used the tape to store BASIC programs I typed in from various Compute! and Antic books as a kid. I wrote about converting the tape to a .CAS file and trying to figure out where all the programs came from: https://breakintochat.com/blog/2020/05/30/unearthed-my-atari-8-bit-cassette-tape/ It was a fun research challenge tracking down each program, but perhaps my favorite nerdy part was diffing the source listings of the programs to see where I had made mistakes, or where I had customized the programs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Do you mind posting the tape file? I don't believe some of the programs have been typed in / dumped yet and I'd like to add them to our database. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 You'd have to double check the typos you already listed against the magazines and their own subsequent typos and fixes in later issues... there are a number on archive.org where the OCR/ whatever checker they use change listings and or transpose them in strange ways...
