TARBEL is an old S-100 based cassette interface card.  Kinda a standard
before the "Kansas-City Standard" emerged later in computer history.  If
memory serves, it was popular circa 1973-76 (or there abouts).

If you give me a wav file of it, I can probably decode it for you. I managed
to reverse engineer the MC202 tape save format uning cooledit and some
custom C++ code.

I dunno what the heck TARBEL is. Sounds like an anagram to me... Its
probably just FM encided serial data...
