Re: An interesting Apple II cassette ditty

Rofl! Don't think so. At least, not with the notes sequences of the same 
byte can produce. There's about seven different notes that can be produced 
with this method, plus the straight tones for $00 and $FF bytes. 
Combinations of different bytes repeated might produce different notes 
though.
     On an unrelated topic, does the long header tone actually serve any 
purpose to the Apple during a read? How much tone does it actually need when 
reading the tape? I could probably save a lot of space by trimming the 
header tone down to the minimum required, especially seeing as how it'd 
probably be read from some digital media and not analog tape, so analog 
issues would be eliminated.
