So, I'm not sure who knows, but I'm the lucky person to have been gifted @AdrianRiskin 's Commodore PET 2001 with the chicklet keyboard.

He even included a cassette (pictured) which states it holds Microchess 2.0 by Peter Jennings.

Now, Adrian said it held his own programs and asked if I could retrieve them if/when I got the computer working.

First off, I thought this was a really cool inclusion! I was not expecting a cassette from 1978...and Commodore branded at that. Seeing as it has, or had, published software I can understand it. Without my glasses, I thought Commodore had just provided a blank cassette with the system. 😂

Second, rather than waiting for the working computer (and cassette deck), I'm going to see if I can play the cassette in a modern cassette player (ha! modern, well a sort of) and record it on my workstation as a WAV.

So my question to the community is: 1) How might one play a WAV flle into the VICE emulator, or 2) does anyone have a lead on a WAV to PRG conversion tool? (That would be a cool utility to have!)

Is there a CLI tool out there that'll show me the bytes in common across lots of files, and their offsets? I'm doing a bit of binary file format analysis, hoping to contribute some types into shared-mime-info for ZX Spectrum and Commodore emulation disk+tape+cartridge files. Trying to fix up some ".tap" and ".d80" name clashes with More Magic  🔄
