Cassette Tape Navigation - RETRO The Spectrum User Manual

CHAPTER 9

Cassette tape navigation

Programs are stored on a ZX Spectrum cassette tape in chunks, with the first chunk
in a sequence being a program which, when loaded, takes responsibility for loading
any remaining data chunks. Commercial programs more often than not contain just a
single multi-block program per cassette tape, but some can contain more than one.
The Spectrum contains a tape navigation user interface which acts like a virtual cassette
machine, allowing you to pause and start the playback or forward and rewind to different
points in the cassette tape file.
The tape navigation is activated by pressing HOME + A.
