From 1977 to 1982, several companies produced cassettes for the first Apple I and IIs. This project deals with providing Apple I and II enthusiasts with scans and audio extracts of those cassettes.
Find an archive of the different programs that have been read (audacity) and transformed (ciderpress) into a computerized format. Each folder contains pictures of the cassette as well as an archive of the audio file (WAV, 22 kHz, 8-bit mono)
YOU can participate in that project by providing me with your cassette scans and audio extracts, I'd be delighted to upload your contents to our site. I think it may then move to a secure repository (even though I make backup of the site)
I'd like to thank Dirk, Todd and Rory McDonald who are either participating in that project or are my main providers of cassettes.
