Tomita and Tarbel

[Rory McDonald]

I am trying to remember what format the Apple II used- I think it is Tarbel
FSK.
If so, I have several working Apple II's- I could try to load the code on
the album and see what happens.
The problem is what is the code? is it a program or ascii data? and if it is
a program, is it written in Integer BASIC,
AppleSoft, TRS-80 BASIC or perhaps assembler? I will look at the album
again, but I seem to remember Isao was sketchy on the subject. If it is
machine code, then what is the starting address?
Now you guys have my curiosity peaked, dammit.

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...
