months ago i started a personal project for sending, from a Linux machine, webcam captures to 8bit computers using a mono audio cable, just like we used to load games from cassettes - http://nitrofurano.altervista.org/experimental/webcampictureson8bitcomputers/index.html

i have ready the zx-spectrum and coco2 versions - now i'm needing a msx version which can run on Linux, and better if it is coded in an interpreted language like Python, Perl, Ruby, Lua, etc.

since the coco2 version of bin2cas.pl (from http://archive.worldofdragon.org/archive/index.php?dir=Tapes/wav/ ) seems to be easy to code and understand, i think the msx version would be as easy to be coded?

if someone know something about (or at least know where the technical info about the .cas file) please let us know! :)
thanks in advance,
p.

IIRC there is a 15 minute time window in which you can edit your post.

anyway, i'm still looking for a cas2wav for the msx (in Python, Perl, Lua, Ruby, etc.) - do someone know where can this be found?

Get castools source and compile it with gcc: http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~vincentd/
If you really must have it written in one of your preferred scripting languages, port it, source code size is not that large. :)
