Noel Llopis aka NoelsRetroLab did it again. He solved one of the problems, that - probably - gave most of us sleepless nights in the 80s. Until floppy disc drives became a thing. 💾

Loading programs and games from tape can be a frustrating process. Depending on the payload’s size, it just takes time. Noel explores ways to speed up the process, and since there exist 8-bit machines, which come with an integrated tape deck, that absolutely makes sense. Still today.

Even if you do not own one of these vintage machines and no tapes no more, the video is super interesting and you will learn a thing. Amusing, informative. Like always.
