Subject: Re: Electron Emulators & Tape Gaps

Hi!

The Electron page@... is by Bryan
McPhail. I don't know why he isn't updating it, but I
know he is also working on MAME (see the W.I.P. pages
at http://www.mame.net/). Maybe he busy with that and
just didn't have time to update his Electron page. I
didn't notice that some screenshots come from BBC
games.

I don't have a page of my own yet.

I'd like to see your document on the tape format. I
myself am using the standard archive format defined by
Wouter Scholten (with INF files containing the name of
a file, load and exec adresses and a NEXT tag that
indicates the next file).
