- I have an old TRS-80 Model 1 with cassette tapes. I would like to
- keep this system well-preserved so that 50 years from now I can
- show it off as a working antique computer. I am concerned about
- deterioration of data on cassette tapes. Is there a good way to
- back up these tapes? I would perfer a method whereby the computer
- reads the data and makes a fresh recording on a new tape (as opposed
- to tape-to-tape recording, which would carry forward any deterioration
- thus far).
-
- The tapes I have contain a mixture of machine-code programs (loaded
- via the "system" command) as well as BASIC programs (loaded via the
- "cload" command).
-
- Thanks in advance for any advice,
-
