Then you'd be interested to know that I did this once before on my Amiga (way
back when... :-)  I borrowed an 8-bit audio sampler for a weekend and at
the end, I was reading and _writing_ Trash-80 tapes.

But that's not all.. :-)  Not long before I got the Amiga, I was using my
Trash-80 (CC3) to read and write one of my friend's Amstrad CPC464 tapes as
well!  We used it on a couple of protected tapes to modify some of the
games that he had (he was a dedicated Commodore-64 hater, we added a C64 to
one of the shoot-em-ups so that he could blow away the evil C64 monsters :-).
JI still have a pile of about 1200 pages of disassembled Z80 code.. :-)

Sigh, those were the days... :-)
