Please publicate some documentation regarding the software. I can see only some .pas sources, unfortunately I don't practice this language.

Could you please to be so kind and publish somewhere the guide step by step:

Generaly short documentation for supplied software could be very usefull.

This project is very very interesting but really poor documented (maybe available just a professional coders).

This project looks to be so great that it could be really too bad to waste it.

Thank you and best regards Mariusz

This repository contains only two applications that were made in Delphi Community Edition, these are: single button installer for 64-bit Windows, and a tapfit tool (datassette head fit). The actual code for OpenCBM library, original ZoomTape tools, firmware is here, and in short words is a OpenCBM but slightly modified to support new ZoomTape hardware aka TapeXUM. I will add short description of each ZoomTape tool, since original website is down, but that's it.

Hi again.

1). When I try to build the one button installer, I got this:

2). When I try to build tapfit, I got this:

So build with success.

So If I try to run, then I see:

So now I think I should install OpenCBM modified, but I can't see any download links here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160707132841/http://zoomtape.de.vu/

O, I see it's probably here: https://github.com/r1me/OpenCBM

But may I find it somewhere compiled For Win64 (or Win32) ? Or to get some fast instructions how to compile it?

Im not a programmer / code writer, but as You can see, I'm patiently trying to get working result :-)

You don't have to build a single app, precompiled binaries were always available in releases section.

Thank you. I didn't saw it ;-)
