Thanks to our member digitalker for supplying working copies of The Wizard's Castle tapes. These were saved out of a Sorcerer to a digital recorder and saved as WAV tapes. Both 300 baud and 1200 baud versions were saved. Existing copies on the internet have errors and will not load. These files have been tested by loading back into a real Sorcerer and into MAME emulator without any problems. It was written by Joseph R Power and originally released as a program listing in the Recreational Computer magazine July/August 1980. This listing and its manual is included here also.

Also provided were tapes, both 300 baud and 1200 baud versions, of Curve Plotting as released as a listing in Electronics Australia magazine February 1981 by Daniel Wong. A copy of the article is already in the Documents\Magazine\Electronics Australia folder.

Touch-Type-Tutor 1 and 2 tapes were also provided as well as a scan of its manual. Written by Roy Mercer and released by System Software in Western Australia. Again, both 300 baud and 1200 baud versions were provided.

All the WAV files were down-sampled from their original 48khz recording down to 22khz and save as 8bit WAV files. All have been tested to load error free into a Sorcerer as well as the MAME emulator.

So in the Vintage Repository in the Software\Tapes folder we placed
