CPC-series Utilities
Tape Loading
These utilities allow you to get programs off your old audio cassettes
and into your computer, or vice-versa. Naturally, this will require
a cassette player, a suitably configured sound card and cabling
between the two.

| No$Cart | This DOS based tool converts CPC disk images (.DSK files) into CPC Plus/KX 4000 cartridges (.CPR files). And thus allows to play most CPC games on diskless CPC 464+ computers, and (as far as fully joystick controlled) even on the KX 4000 games console.
The program copies the CPC 6128 operating system ROMs and the disk image into a cartridge, patches the AMSDOS Read Sector function, and other than that there isn't much behind it. |

| Samp2CDT / SAMP2TZX | Tape transfer tools | |
| DskInfo | A tool to dump information about standard and extended disk images |
