Sharp MZ

Hi all. I realise I've been collecting many many different tapes over the years of bidding on eBay auctions. These tapes often included 'homebrew' software that the owners of the machines would have written. So these are unpublished (sometimes unfinished) and / or broken / interesting programs so I ...

What actually is the /WAIT for? Would be nice to have a decent explanation.

I was trying to make a copy of your RAMTEST program in WAV format. I had a normal cassette player/recorder that I have connected to a smartphone through the earp...
