This is an old idea, but still worth of investigating, since burning CDs is so cheap nowadays. In late 1980s there was one game company that released a game CD for the C64 together with an adapter that plugged into the cassette port and allowed the connection of a line-level audio signal from a CD player to the "cassette read" signal. The first track could be the loader in normal (slow) format, other tracks (how many can there be?) can be filled with different programs using a much tighter coding. Marko PS. The Oric is a 6502 machine, so you could maybe use Fabrice's routines more or less directly on Commodore computers. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 5 Oct 1999 10:11:45 +0200 From: Fabrice Frances <frances@ensica.fr> To: oric@Lyghtforce.com Subject: 10x CLOAD Tired of waiting tape loading ? Your transfers need vitamins, just download tap2cd from http://oric.ifrance.com and your real Oric will be able to CLOAD 10 times faster. Trying to build an archive of all Oric programs ? Just fit them all on a single audio-CD ! Cheers to all, Fabrice - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
