   Cassette archive?

   Is there any cassette archive out there or interest in one?   
      
   I've recently been playing around with writing code to extract the data   
   from .WAV files of my old Model I tapes.  I looked at wav2cas and it was   
   way too much of a hack for my taste.  (having everything inside main()   
   was a bad start)  Right now there's still a lot of manual work in my   
   process, and it depends a lot on what quality of recording I get, which   
   is mostly due to getting our old friend the volume control right.   
      
   So far I've rescued one side each of two tapes from my box of oldest   
   tapes, including tweaking a few weak waves with Audacity to get good   
   reads, and I even decoded a few tail ends where the beginning got   
   recorded over.   
      
   My main goal is to read my old stuff, but I also got a good read of the   
   KBFIX/RELO and Invasion Force tapes.  I figured it would be a good idea   
   to ask before reading the pre-recorded tapes I have handy, to avoid   
   duplication of effort.  I really only want to stick to 500 baud tapes   
   right now, but if there's any interest in 250 baud Level I tapes, I can   
   try reading a few of those as I find them.   
      
   Interestingly enough, Invasion Force has garbage in unitialized areas at   
   the end, some of which appears to be bits of Eliza and other source code.
