[Dave Halliday]

Named after Don Tarbel who devised the system.  It is frequency shift at
1200 baud.

The original Kansas City Standard ( Wayne Green and company ) was 300 baud
and the Tarbel system got 4x throughput with fairly cheap electronics.

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...
