Encoding Data for Audio Tape?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday December 30, 2003 @11:23AM from the Atari-and-TI-did-this-years-ago dept.

Kris_J asks: "I've recently purchased and installed an audio cassette deck for my PC. It makes recording to and from tape particularly painless, but I'm looking for some funky other stuff to try. Along the lines of my new old SuperDisk FD32MB that can store 32MB on a normal 1.44MB floppy, and my Cuttle Cart that can load Atari 2600 games from encoded audio I'm wondering if there's any program that can encode a file as audio that can survive being recorded to audio tape or compressed as an MP3. I'll worry about 'why' later."

On the "Fit 32 megs on a floppy" link to an old Slashdot story, I ran across this 'first post' comment:

"The next version of Windows should fit on 5000 of these..."

Just thought it was amusing that Windows XP is distributed on one CD, RedHat is distributed with 5.

(Sorry, NFI how to answer this guy's question...)
