Quick side-tangent:

Atari had a very amusing model naming scheme back in those original home computer days. The 400 and 800 were computer models, but their peripherals took other numbers in the 8## range

The #Atari410 was a cassette drive.
(What we had first.) The #Atari810 was a floppy drive. (What we would get two of later for #DontCopyThatFloppy purposes) The #Atari825 was a dot-matrix printer. The #Atari830 was their direct acoustic modem. The #Atari850 was a weird interface module...

Amusing to check out

I am not sure I've seen a similar model/naming scheme otherwise? Usually the "device types" are split into their own naming/numbering iteration.

ANYway...

a8cas-convert is often great, but I'm finding #Altirra does a more reliable job of successfully turning (ancient) eight-bit data tape audio into a successfully loaded program.

Looks like a8cas-convert has been effectively abandoned since 2015: https://a8cas.sourceforge.net/news.html
