Hi everyone!
Google is failing me, so I figured I would ask here to learn if anyone has information about any error-correcting methods that were used by old compact cassette-based tape drives on systems like the ZX Spectrum +2 and the Commodore 64.
This really is totally unimportant, but someone brought up signal degradation on magnetic tape and I wanted to know what sort of coding these machines used to ensure data integrity. (From what I understand they didn’t do a particularly good job. 😉)
Thanks 😀
Yes, it’s my fault.
