Software Distribution By Vinyl

Posted by timothy on from the when-obscurantism-attacks dept.

townxelliot writes "Beige Records is home to the intriguing 8-Bit Construction Set. Their record has the distinction of being "the first ever use of the vinyl recording medium for software distribution - the inside tracks are audio data which can be dubbed to cassette tape and booted in your respective atari or commodore 8-bit computers". Samples of their music ("entirely programmed in 6502 assembly language") are available for download."

    Hehe. I last programmed in 6502 assembly (or more correctly, 6510 assembly) on my Commodore 64 when I was about 15. That was about 17 years ago! I was amazed I recalled JSR $FFD2 from memory.

    I can't remember what I did yesterday but for some reason I really can't get any of the important C-64 numbers out of my head.
