Ah, the good old days!

My project to resurrect my TRS-80 programs has hit a snag.  I have xtrs,
the software TRS-80 emulator (which works just fine), but I've been delayed
because my soundblaster won't record under FreeBSD 2.0.5.  Yes, I'm going
to decode my old tapes by bit-groping wav files!  I figure that once I've
done that, I should be able to write compatible tapes too, just for laughs.

If I ever finish this, I'll let y'all know...
