Description of the page content

Tape-to-disc transfer for ZX Spectrum's Forth-83.

Tags:

This little utility copies the ZX Spectrum Forth-83 files from the original TAP file into a Plus D disk. I use it with the Fuse emulator, but it would work on a real machine as well.

The ZX Spectrum Forth-83 loader doesn't need to be adapted, because it uses the microdrive syntax, which the Plus D is compatible with.
