Remember the BBC micro and other computers of that era, which used audio tapes to save programs? I recall a BBC TV programme about technology from when I was a kid. In at least one episode, they played such a tape on the air, so that we could record it (by holding the cassette recorder near the TV speaker), and then load the program ourselves.
Is this a false memory or can someone else confirm seeing this?
I was able to copy Commodore cassettes using my father's high end audio setup. A friend with a standard two-tape deck ended up with corrupted tapes though, so the bit rate must have been close to the limit of the medium.
