About

An ongoing preservation effort, anchored by Adam Trionfo with help from Ryan Gray and David, to archive the club/library cassette tapes: the actual process of capturing audio, cleaning it up, verifying loads, and producing preservation-quality TAP/TZX images. The main process thread has stayed active from 2022 into 2026 — the how-to and the running log of what's been saved.
