decode magnetic
Hello all,
An old wircut machine who's dedicated computer (80's made) is not working now. The computer has a display console and boots from flopy. It takes NC code input through keyboard and record all the data to a Magnatic Tape(cessate). This cassate then goes to the machine and machines tape reader reads data (i.e NC commands) and opreates the motors of machine.
Now the problem is that the computer is deffected and is not working any more also no support what so ever.
Now What i need to do is to understand the formate of data on the magnatic tape for which i want to translate the data of Magnatic tape(Cassate) to through my computer's sound card.
I donot know how to proceed. Does anyone knows how to decode data on magnatic tape specially when it is in the form of Two tones.
regards
Dani....
