Thanks Dave.

OK, I will have a go at this. I'm quite used to doing this sort of 
thing with Spectrum tapes, so should be pretty easy.

Do you know if the two sides of the tape contain the same data?
No hassle to capture both sides, but it'll save me half the time if 
you know they're identical ;-)
