Re: Cassette programs (was Re: RAM Applesoft found!)
I have a few tapes that I haven't even tried to read.
Little Brick Out B-side Color Demosoft 600-2023-00
Alignment Test Tone B-side Renumber/Append, 600-2024-000
Finance I B-side Penny Arcade 600-2025-000
Brian's Theme B-side Phone List600-2027-000
I assumed these were already preserved but if I'm wrong let me know what is
needed to back them up.
