- 1I remember another machine (Teletype replacement) that used those same "data" cassettes. It was in my high-school's math lab. And yeah. We used to file a notch in the top of an audio cassette to make it fit. And it would work just fine.Solomon Slow– Solomon Slow2021-11-02 21:36:02 +00:00Commented Nov 2, 2021 at 21:36
- 1IIRC, the Adam tapes were formatted though. The "full seeking capabilities" depended on that, and the formatting could only be done at the factory. They did not provide any software to run on the Adam that could format a new tape.Solomon Slow– Solomon Slow2021-11-02 21:37:02 +00:00Commented Nov 2, 2021 at 21:37
- @SolomonSlow interesting bit about the formatting. Maybe if you had a dual cassette player, you could just duplicate an existing Adam cassette on to a non-Adam one and get the formatting that way..? Off to the internet FAQs I suppose :)bjb– bjb2021-11-02 22:06:34 +00:00Commented Nov 2, 2021 at 22:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. ms-dos), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
