Hello there,

hehehe, okie. I bookmarked the url (fortunately you sent it back,
coz I deleted this "tap crap" immediately ;-)

I will see what this is and how to use. (not now, I am fuckin busy with finishing the school this spring/summer)

Yes, I thought this. But if the program is not emulating the turbo and plus4, it cannot decide if the load was successfull or not!! Hows that? I don't want to create tons of unusable tape files. On plus4 I load the file, save to disk, and then run to see if everything went ok. :)

I have a big box of Edhellon (aka SJP) which is full with tapes containing the golden age games. XZAP is one of my favourites,
even I found the original tape in the box, and asked them that I want to hold. :) So now I proudly have the first game I ever saw on original tape (same looking like the one was I saw back in time). :))) No! I don't give :)

All the games are onefilers, some are cracker made lower quality ones, but a lot of them are like Zylon, Timeslip, well, what I list,
open your 100+4/1 - those are :) I will have to give back the tapes, so I want to copy all of them to disk first. (This IS why I asked for fastloader cardridge.)
