Is there a library of cassette software being archived anywhere? At this
point, I probably have at least several hundred cassette tapes of programs
for the earlier computers, and it would be a shame to lose it.

Also, how did you record the cassettes with respect to input device,
sampling frequency, etc.? I am currently running the input into my sound
card. Since I am also starting to transfer a few records to CD, the
recording settings are 44 MHz in Stereo. Aside from the minor detail of
about 11 Mb/minute and record rumble, it works really well.
