Re: Hardware gadget for tape loading

["Mickael Pointier" <mike@defence-force.org>]

:Anyway what I'm saying is, emulation science is still advancing, and
:tape emulation can be seen as separate to the machine emulation
:itself, so if you pooled resources, all 8-bitters would benefit from
:new advances straight away. We don't *need* separate tape utilities
:for each machine. The same way, many people use Marat's Z80 core for
:their emu's, why bother reinventing the microchip?


I believe in that case that it would be possible to have a similar system
for disk drives ?
A standard way of encoding disk datas, that would allow us to have
"writedisk" and
"readdisk" utilities that works for Atari ST, Oric, Spectrum, Apple, etc...
