OH! Brain fart: I have 3 days off!

  • Test TAP to WAV prg
  • Play WAV to record WAV to convert to TAP
  • Test TAP on VICE
  • Clean up new (to me) PET and take pic of the siblings!

    Oy. Of the 3 possible programs offered to assist in TAP to WAV and/or vice-versa:

    1) Windows only, exe file.
    2) Windows only can be compiled on Linux but for Windows.
    3) Requires Node.js

    🤮

    Was hoping for a Linux compile-able or simple script. Didn't want to fight with Windows VMs and definitely didn't want to have to install Node.

    Next step: Guess I'll install Node on a Linux VM.

    Hmm...maybe this include file would be helpful:

    A little bit of hope...the TAP file I saved from VICE xpet -model 2001 starts with the same C64-TAPE-RAW bytes.

    Well, another possible hiccup. The Node.js tool only supports TAP type 1 files, not type 0. Fortunately, the TAP file saved from VICE is a type 1.

    Ok, so I'm using an existing Deb12 VM, but it's behind in version. So now I have to sit a while, while it's updating. *sigh*
