| HER Turbo found!
What a flash tonight...! Been visiting my uncle and they used to have a C16 that I got now along with a few tapes that I personally recorded back around 1987. I digitized one side of a tape that contained Her Turbo and after some signal processing (filtering, amplifying etc.) I could finally load it up in Yape.
So here it is in its full glory: http://yape.atilia.eu/download/Her_turbo.tap
I hope to recover a couple of other gems, too.

Excellent find, you got lucky This could have been a much-needed front-page news update.

Yeah... though I had no time left to do the rest (screenshot, prg, etc.) but wanted to share it nevertheless
One other thing that I have found is the original tape version of MyChess 2.0 with (the Nova-turbo like) Crown-loader. Unfortunately I could not load that up yet.

Heh, I tried to upload the screenshots, but I cannot connect to plus/4world due to a weird "session password" request

Screenshot would be cool By the way, it says 'ZIFRA' and plus4 turbo, too... could be that Her turbo is an enhanced version of that (I haven't verified it).

Also, wouldn't the "second version" message in the program be a clue?

I have PDF in front of me from a (probably) British magazine by a certain Nick Hampshire, that says "Break the speed limit". The turbo is called "Fast Tape Save" and it is THE original "Her Turbo". The only difference is that the code resides at address $3D00 that was later relocated to the more practical screen memory area... Wow. Now if I only knew what magazine is this and where did I get the PDF from...? Any clues based on the above?

Darn... figured out. It's Your Commodore. The issue is still unknown though.
