Hi all,

Any of u know where I can find tape images for Apple II apps or games? Ones that I can re-record into tape.
 
Anyone considered the possibility of copying disk images to/from a real apple II via the tape load mechanism?

I suspect that the software would need to be written to do it.
 
I haven't tried it, but ADTpro has a cassette port audio transfer mode.

I have published a program earlier this year that will convert Apple Monitor format text files into Apple 1 compatible AIF files. Only a checksum needs to be added at the end for Apple II compatibility. These AIF files can be used to load programs from an iPod through the cassette port, which is surprisingly simple way to move stuff into your Apple II. Not exactly what you are looking for, buy may be helpful to someone.

Thanks for that... wow, the internet can be frustrating sometimes.. Ya know, I did LOOK and didn't find that. :)

Closest I got was the Ciderpress Tape import function. (which is the wrong direction for me. I don't lack software in my emulator)

Cheers, Devlin

Not of their own manufacture, but you could connect any cassette recorder using the audio jacks.

Cassettes were not widely used with the Apple ][ after the first few years, because Apple was able to sell their software-driven disk drive and controller more cheaply than any other computer company at the time.

Apparently you can also use iTunes to load cassette tape programs onto your Apple II, as Panic has demonstrated.

well, any audio player really... My $50 taiwanese made mp3 player could probably do it as long as I gave it an acceptably high bandwidth audio file to work with. It's not really a big ask for a digital device to be higher fidelity than your average old mono portable cassette deck from the late 70's. :)
