OK, the reason I haven't joined this thread before is that I'm almost
entirely ignorant wrt console tapes. Plus, up to this point an emulated
TU-58 wouldn't get data off the orphan tapes, so an emulator wouldn't
help much.
My question is, why go the small-PC route instead of using something
like the TU-58 emulator at
http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/TU58_Emulator.htm ?
It is really a question, not a suggestion. I think I'm missing a
point somewhere....
