Tape data decoding help required...
Hello all,
An old wirecut machine who's dedicated computer (80's made) is not working now. The computer has a display console and boots from flopy. It takes NC code input through keyboard and record all the data to a Magnatic Tape(cessate In GCODE). This cassate then goes to the machine and machines tape reader reads data (i.e NC commands) and opreates the motors of machine.
Now the problem is that the computer is deffected and is not working any more also no support what so ever.
Now What i need to do is to understand the formate of data on the magnatic tape for which i want to translate the data of Magnatic tape(Cassate) to through my computer's sound card.
I donot know how to proceed. Does anyone knows how to decode data on magnatic tape specially when it is in the form of Two tones.
regards
Danii....

data of audio tape through sound card
Hello and Thanks Al_The_Man
The data read from audio tape through sound card and soundforge software.
Actullay the machine is JAPAX EDM wircut. The Tape reader is ok but the writer computer is not working. I want to link it with computer. Do you know any other way to do this . I thought if i can decode and understand the data written on tape then i can use cassete simulator which take the audio in signal and simulate it on tape reader which takes it as normal audio tape. But it is just a thought do you know any other way to make new data cessets.
regards
