# TAPEMON
Tapemon is a Apple-I tool that helps finding the optimal playback volume to
the ACI audio cassette interface.
## How to use it
- Load `tapemon.0280.bin` on the Apple-1 and execute it with `280R`.
- Connect your playback device (PC, Smartphone, iPod etc) to the ACI
- Play the file `frames.wav` contained in `frame/frames.wav.zip` archive. The file
will send a continous stream of small data packets that are catched by the program
running on the Apple-1. Each packet is 64 bytes long.
For each received packet a character will be displayed:
- `*` indicates a good packet
- `.` indicates packet not received
- an hex digit 0-F indicates the packet is partially corrupt
Adjust the volume level so that you have a lot of `*`.
