[Techtoolslist] 9010 tapes

[Matt Rossiter]

He sent those to me.

It took me awhile to get my tape deck working, but I eventually did.

Unfortunately there really wasn't much on those tapes.  It looks like
someone plugged in a working boardset (Battlezone, Tempest, Pac-Man, etc)
hit the LEARN button and then copied that info to tape.  If that's
something people are still interested in (which I doubt it since you can't
be 100% sure those boards were working) I can share those.  Some tapes were
either blank or couldn't be read.  There were some with actual programs on
them, but I don't believe they were video game related.  I can share those.

I was really hoping there were some actual arcade game troubleshooting
programs on the tapes, but at least it motivated me to learn how to fix the
Fluke 9010a tape deck!  :)
