I wrote an assembler for my TS1000. I guess I could dust off the
tapes, build a little hardware I/F and read them onto disc.
Hmm, wrote them as straight binary images. I'd need to get
a copy of the tape reader/writer I wrote off tape first.
It was about 16x as fast as the one the TS1000 came with.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
