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 packets.wav contained in packets_wav/packets.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 *.
