ldelsarte Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hello Atari 8-bit fellows! In the 80s, it was not uncommon to find ZX Spectrum programs (etc, ...) on Flexidisc, cassette, radio broadcast, etc... However, I thought there was NOTHING for my Atari 800XL. Nothing until I read the latest issue of the French magazine "Canard PC Hardware" n°49, July-Aug 2021 (this mag is about the latest hardware for PC enthusiasts). It contains an article about programmes released on vinyl back then (in the 80s). And I discovered this LP by "Adolphson-Falk" called "Över Tid Och Rum" which contains (ONLY on the vinyl version, track is omitted on the CD) a track that is actually an Atari BASIC program. Link to the record: Adolphson-Falk - Över Tid Och Rum | Releases | Discogs Link to an article on the subject: Decoding the Adolphson-Falk data signal – Logic Applied knowledge base (I'm attaching the .CAS file) I would like to submit this information for inclusion in a future version of the FAQ, hence my question: Except for this disc, does anyone know of any other media (LP/MC/CD/etc...) that contains an audio track that is actually an Atari BASIC program (for 8-bit, obviously)? I hope you're okay if your findings are quoted in a forthcoming FAQ update... Thank you in advance for your contributions and comments, Kind regards, Laurent Adolphson-Falk - Över Tid Och Rum (atari basic on vinyl LP).cas 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
