Tapes (cassettes) did everything discs do today. Mostly storing programs for home computers. I remember using them with my Commodore 64. They were prone to spitting out overheated tape loops. So when the floppies came out, so long tapes unless they had Def Leppard on them.
@Yowelsepti411 the map is not upside down. we have the same map in my history class. its saying look at different perspectives. is austrailia really on bottom
I'm only 30 and I grew up with 80s computers such as Spectrum, Amstrad, and Commodore which had tape decks for saving programmes. Still have the old Amstrad CPC-464 in the loft as it happens. Might have to dust off some of those cassettes some time and play a few games =]

Read riholo message and that is just one of thousands if not millions examples of what a cassette was used for in a computer. Commodore 64 also had a cassette player as well and it was used for the same reason. On C64 though, some game you could save on a what?......wait for it......wait for it......a cassette. And I am 30 years old and I know what it was used for. Talking about two guys who doesn't need to have a show on YouTube.
Wow, you guys are complete idiots. What is the cassette for? Memory?.....Wow talking about idiots and don't know shit. It was for data storage, similar to what a hard drive does now but not advance as today's hard drives. You can save all kinds of info on a cassette, not just music. If you play a tape that has data on it you will hear a constant sound that sounds terrible. You may think that the tape is messed up if you hear it but its not. That is the infomation (data) that is on the tape.
Dude, seriously? C'mon. I had a cassette computer and I'm only 46. I had an Ohio Scientific Challenger 4p... walnut side-rails... sweetness. I programmed a little plane to fly across the screen waving a banner that said "happy new year" using pokes & peeks in... jesus... must have been the late 70's. You'd ready the computer, hit "save" and then turn on the cassette to record and it would record your program. Then later you'd hit "load" and rewind to the beginning of the program and press play.
lol, isnt everything bought at a london auction? like seriously, everything nowadays is sold at a london auction. never german. never polish. never american. not even irish. always london.
These guys are too moronic to have a computer show. Anyone with any knowledge whatsoever knows that back in the late 70s the only feasble storage was via cassette tape. Just about every computer used this back then because there really was no standard for floppy disks yet, and they were expensive and hard drives were out of the question.
@funnystuffcollector I dont think you noticed that they have atleast 3 apple computers, and put the map behind them upside down as a joke. haha they're just trolling
Guys, guys, guys... computers used cassettes back in the 80's as well... yes, as some type of "memory"... C64, Amiga, Atari, Spectrum... 'twas long ago, it was...
nice system just thought i would try and ansewer the casset question probably the casset contained the operating system or hard ware set up this would be commen for the time based on my experience of owing a early computer system that was tape based
Cassettes were used before the disk drive came out. My first computer we had to use cassettes to save and load. It took anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Like others have said, if you guys were capable of "tech analysis" you would easily know that the cassette was for storage. The 8 inch floppy had been commercially available for a few years and the 5 1/4 inch floppy came out in 1976, but the cassette was much more affordable to the average hobbyist.
".. you actually see a CASSETTE...! Now, I dunno what that was used for, maybe some kind of MEMORY?". Obviously our intrepid presenters don't know the first thing about computers OR how to use the internet. Or Google. Or Wiki... Dicks. Do some research if you're gonna chat shit about it.
I bought my first used computer in 1984 a Commodore Vic 20 at the age of 12.
We user the tape cassette to load and save programs on our computer. The other way to get a programs like a game on a computer was to use a add PCB with an Eprom inside a cartridge but you could not save up change on a Eprom and Hard Drive was highly expensive at that time and very fragile in the early 1980's
You could load a program from a cassette by simply converting beeps on the tape to digital info. At one time there were actually radio shows where they'd play those beeps so you could record them at home and then load the tape into your computer thus receiving software via a radio. (a clear signal was of the essence).
The cassette had data on it. It works like this. The tape's data is loaded onto the system's memory and it stays there for you to work with until it's turned off. You could also save your work onto other tapes as not to mess up your primary copy.
As computers progressed, they started doing it with floppy disks. Today we just use a hard drive or even an SSD to boot the OS onto the memory. Yes, we still work by these principles today. The memory is crucial.. no pun intended xD
People really should keep thier yaps closed if they don;t know about the subject. These two kids have no idea what they are talking about; Go now, momy is calling you
yes the tape is its hard drive.it should of had a rom chip input info came from the tape program on data it was used on many computers and arcade games like data east in the 70 and 80s
Most home computers late 70s to early 80s had software loaded on cassette. Sometimes you had to manually rewind and play the same bit of tape over and over if it did not load correctly. The original Elite on my BBC Micro took twenty minutes to load! And you had to sit by the machine and listen to the weird noise it made to monitor its progress! The main game screen was loaded in line by line as a bitmap! You'd have to sit there and watch the screen slooowly fill up :)
The Cassette is a Form of a Hard Drive or a Floppy but far more Primitive. it would hold all the data for a program. The User would have to Start, Pause and Stop it manually.
Storage devices comes in the form of 5 inch floppies, 3.5 inch floppies, Cassette, Colorado cassette, thumbdrives, Orbit drives, zip drives, ect. ect. ect. lol
The cassette is used like a hard drive or thumb drive today. I used to have a TI-99 back in the day and the cassette was for loading games and/or programs into the computer and when I was done, I had to load all the new data from the computer back onto the cassette in order to save my progress. It took a long time to do this and it made fax machine sounds while doing so
The audio cassette is to give instructions to operate that machine.. Dumb Ass .. The audio tape serves as a manual similar to those CD that we get when we purchase a new comp.
One of 200 original Apple 1 computers sold at auction this week for a staggering $213,000. Two hundred Apple-1 computers are estimated to have been created and sold for ******$666.66****** before Apple Computer Inc. was founded in 1977. Once the Apple II, the company's first official product, was released, many of the Apple-1 models were reclaimed as trade-ins. Only about 50 are still known to exist, many of them indexed by hardware developer Mike Willegal.
the cassette held about 200-400k of data per side depending on the tape quality and length you would you it as a disk drive just as you would a modern hard drive or usb flash drive
cassette??? i m only 22, and i have used cassette in my PC in 1999. That was the last time i used cassette on a personal PC. Now i used the 50TB cassette in my IBM servers. Your youtube, facebook, twitter data is also being backed up on cassettes. My mind is blown by these guys.
1:10 I am 34 and I fully remember all the line of atari and commodore lines around 1985. Those guys are commenting the technology they have no clue about. Casette recorders were a standard for maybe a decade.
To see what I'm talking about with cassettes, watch angry video game nerd's review on transformers. He uses a commodore tape to play a transformers game.
@1:00 are you serious? Cassettes were kind of like memory cards we have today, the adapter being the tape player. What astonishes me is someone who probably knows a bit about analog modems from the nineties with that ear piercing sound wouldn't have a good guess as to what cassettes could offer. They produced tones that the computer understood as electronic impulses for programming. If you find any old commodore 64 cassettes (very easy to find) and played them back, you'd hear that nasty dial t
The Apple I was NOT the first, nor was it much of a pioneer. There were tons of 8 bits already out, a whole swarm of CP/M machines that came way before the Apple, the C=64, the PET, , the Atari, Timex-Sinclair, the TRS-80 Model 1 (which is older than the Apple 1, 1977 btw). You want really old school you built an Alatair, or a Heathkit, or any other number of machines. I have a Bell Howell Black Apple II, and all the rest... and there is nothing special about the Apple at all.
@cobrachoppergirl In fact even the Apple **II** preceded every one of the systems you listed, and was in fact the first fully assembled personal computer on the market.
@cobrachoppergirl In fact even the Apple **II** preceded every one of the systems you listed, and was in fact the first fully assembled personal computer on the market.
Think about how slow a tape recorder would be compared to a hard disk or even a floppy drive, and this might give you an idea of what it could have been used for. It was the main way of storing and loading programs at that time. How could it have been used for RAM extension? I didn't use Apples back then, I had a Speccy, but all the home computers before the Commodore Amiga used cassettes. The first IBM PC had a cassette tape port as well.
kay guys, question before i rant... are u two a couple? lol just the way you look at each other makes me think you are.... now rant. OMFG guys im probably younger than you and know what the tape was used for! IT WaS USED IN HIFI CASSETTE PLAYERS TO PLAY MUSIC!!! no j/k it was basically a removable storage media there wasnt much for an OS. a few lines of code, to boot whatever was on your media (this case tape) also known as a SHELL.
In class we loaded our work off a compact cassette. Any recorder with adjustable levels, usually turned up. Sounds like handshake noise when using old dial-up. Even Modems were acoustic w/handset cradle....After done loading we used it to play music. They had the big floppy drive option, but at 600 bucks. Before 1981 schools used numbered punch cards for input to CRT green Fortran types.
The cassette tape you see was actually for storage. There were tape players called "datasets" and you would record your programs in a linear way on cassette tapes. You'd have to take note of the counter to know where a program is on the tape if you had multiple programs on a single tape. it would easily take 5 minutes and more to load a program. That was horrible but it was the next best thing to ROM (read only memory) on cartridges.

The Apple I was NOT the first, nor was it much of a pioneer. There were tons of 8 bits already out, a whole swarm of CP/M machines that came way before the Apple, the C=64, the PET, , the Atari, Timex-Sinclair, the TRS-80 Model 1 (which is older than the Apple 1, 1977 btw). You want really old school you built an Alatair, or a Heathkit, or any other number of machines. I have a Bell Howell Black Apple II, and all the rest... and there is nothing special about the Apple at all.

@cobrachoppergirl In fact even the Apple **II** preceded every one of the systems you listed, and was in fact the first fully assembled personal computer on the market.

Think about how slow a tape recorder would be compared to a hard disk or even a floppy drive, and this might give you an idea of what it could have been used for. It was the main way of storing and loading programs at that time. How could it have been used for RAM extension? I didn't use Apples back then, I had a Speccy, but all the home computers before the Commodore Amiga used cassettes. The first IBM PC had a cassette tape port as well.

In class we loaded our work off a compact cassette. Any recorder with adjustable levels, usually turned up. Sounds like handshake noise when using old dial-up. Even Modems were acoustic w/handset cradle....After done loading we used it to play music. They had the big floppy drive option, but at 600 bucks. Before 1981 schools used numbered punch cards for input to CRT green Fortran types.

The cassette tape you see was actually for storage. There were tape players called "datasets" and you would record your programs in a linear way on cassette tapes. You'd have to take note of the counter to know where a program is on the tape if you had multiple programs on a single tape. it would easily take 5 minutes and more to load a program. That was horrible but it was the next best thing to ROM (read only memory) on cartridges.

yea the cassette you see was the floppy of that time you would store info on them in a casette player type drive.
