   Hello,   
   I had some TRS-80 tapes laying around and wondered if i could 'look'   
   what is on them using a PC in place of a real TRS-80.   
   Of course there are some programs around but these seem all to be in   
   good-old-DOS. So i started to write a program in Visual Basic 6.   
   Based on a recording (wav file) of the information on the TRS-80 tape   
   (500 Baud) the program tries to decode the data and produces   
   a .cas file that can be used in an emulator. During the decoding   
   process all kind of information is given including an   
   oscilloscope display of the pulses. Also the program provides   
   information so you can 'repair' the recording if some bad pulses show   
   up.   
   Although the program was written as a 'proof of concept' it might be   
   handy for other TRS-80 model I, level 2 enthusiasts.   
   Note the VB6 program (CasWafTool. exe) needs an OCX program:   
   comdlg32.ocx, and no installation is required. Please read the Readme   
   file for additional information.   
   If interested you can download the program from:
