Tape Master Disk
#386539 - 05/31/20 11:36 AM


Hello,

On the "specpls3_flop" softlist, I can see some entries called "tape master disk".

In the hope to include them in the History.dat, I want to known what is exactly a "tape master disk" ? Is this an official product ? Or a homemade tape_to_disk copy ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I'd like to know that as well, but haven't been able to find the source for all those Zeppelin Games dumps. =\

Maybe Steve from the TZX Vault knows?

AFAIK, they were discs that contained the program and info needed to produce the tapes for certain game (thus the word 'master', same as music).

So, you run the program on the disk and the spectrum asked you to insert a tape and press play to save an original tape of the game/program.

Those disc were in charge of the duplication/generation of the original tapes with the info of the program contained on the disc.
