What the hell... "0uR 7173 c0d3rz r pr0ud 0f 0ur tr1via1 w@rez..."

Anyway, that reminded me of these old programs I wrote-- it would've
been before 1986, before I bought a 1541. I would usually type these
in from memory when I wanted to check what the unrewound tape was at
(..which was faster for me than rewinding a 90 minute audio tape..)


CBM64 version:

10 FOR I = 828 TO 854 : READ A : POKE I,A : NEXT
20 DATA 120,169,0,141,17,208,169,7,133
30 DATA 1,173,13,220,41,16,106,141,24
40 DATA 212,160,8,136,208,253,76,70,3


VIC20 (and original) version:

10 FOR I = 828 TO 852 : READ A : POKE I,A : NEXT I
20 DATA 120,173,45,145,41,2,141,14,144
30 DATA 141,15,144,10,10,173,33,145,160
40 DATA 16,136,208,253,76,61,3


SYS828 would be used to start the program after pressing play on the
datasette.

They're still coding fun stuff, are you?

How does the following tell you what position the tape is at from some
random location?

How many whiteboi gang handsigns do I have to throw to make a 32-byte
machine code program fully Sick, bro? :P

I've never had two datasettes with the same winding rate. ("..A man with
two watches is never sure.") When I had to get a second C2N, I needed to
know where the header signal started for noting in the (handwritten..)
catalogue.

"Zounds" (as I called it) was also good for checking the head alignment,
and of course it could digitize music-- and voice, as I did for one
project..

Yo! I know what you are saying, the leet talk is a bit whack.

Oh right. Well I never used a C2N specifically but the Tandy tape drives
(of the same model) that I did use were accurate enough for it not to be
an issue.

Where can your pojects be found? Sounds interesting!
