I have reverse engineered it enough to have his version play a few songs. However, it seems like there's a difference between the music tapes I have and the listing he has. I don't know what hardware was required of this software, but I suspect it to be a DAC responding on address 055. This seems to match with an AA01 option. Did you end up buying these tapes? I have digitized the music tapes I bought from the seller and will post them soon. It would be excellent if the buyer of this lot would do the same. Musically, Kyle >
