How you loaded games onto my Spectrum 48k, had to make sure the volume on the output wasn't too high or too low. I could guess it had a bandwidth of about 2-3kbit from how long I think it took to load (nearly 40 years ago)
- Gordonjcp 4y agoIt varied with the content - a zero had a high-pitched tone and took half as long to transmit as a one - but it averaged out at around 1800bps. Certain things had really distinctive sounds, like loading screens. I could recognise Manic Miner loading from just about any ten second chunk.
