Subject: Archiving Atom tapes...

Polling list wisdom again! Has anyone here archived Atom audio tape data 
before via a PC soundcard? If so, any wisdom to offer in terms of what 
sampling rate to use or other filter settings that work best (I can always 
sample via a graphic equaliser if needs be to boost certain ranges)

I've got a box of tapes here with Atom data on (a mixture of 1200 and 300 
baud), and it'd be nice to archive them if I can...

Quick list in case it's of interest:

   Forth (Acornsoft)
   Maths Pack 2 (Acornsoft)
   3D Plot
   BBC BASIC 6
   Fall of Rome
   Fall of Rome 2
   Space Adventure
   Write You own Adventure (Hopesoft)
   Wireframe / Con4 (no idea!)
   Galaxians
   Shootout
   Hyperfire
   Breakout
   Swarm
   Cylon
   3D Asteroids
   747 Flight
   Connect Four
   Kingdoms
   War
   Beat the Dot
   Reversal
   Reaction
   Music
   Beeb Rom 1
   Air Attack
   Stargate
   Pinball
   Compiler (for what, I don't know!)
   Oxygene

No idea if the tapes still work (I'd rather work on the principle that I'll 
get one shot at reading the data, and archive them first before trying to make 
them actually do something :)

Contents are probably far less exciting than the titles would have you believe ;)

cheers

Jules
