you can now play with the cassette on https://martypc.net!
You'll want to pick the IBM 5150 machine, and hit F8 during boot when the XTIDE menu appears to go into ROM BASIC.
Two cassette images are included for your convenience.
after a thorough survey of all the different cassette formats and what actually exists for the IBM PC, I decided i am not supporting anything other than WAV.
there is no point. If somehow a burgeoning retro cassette subculture emerges in the wastelands of the 2030s I can always add CAS or something
never before has a feature had so much time spent on it for so few potential users
@gloriouscow well, you could make one that has even less uses like lightpen support in BASIC
