I was using a Sony ICD-PX470, same one I used to digitise the tapes for CM - I just tried the same file that CM used successfully, 16-bit 44.1kHz. So simple headphone output. Although, stereo output but using the mono plug into the 'Bee ... but that would just ground the other channel ... ? But I could try picking a channel and converting it to mono.
And I can also trying saving a file from the 'Bee to see what that WAV file looks like.
I have tried copying mono WAV files across (i.e. for ZX81) but the Sony was a real pain trying to get it to recognise the file as it's quite simple I think, only expecting 16-bit/44.1kHz. So I switched to playing them from my laptop and it worked.
I've got other means - DAT recorders, Hi-MD MiniDisc recorders (in LPCM format), actual tape recorders ... or even just use my laptop.
I do have an oscilloscope, and also a logic analyser - so I could hook them up to see what's actually happening. Will try that.
Once it has identified the file name ... i.e. prints TURTLE M ... should it print anything else to indicating it's loading, etc.? I don't see anything.
