Technical Information

CDT files contain an exact representation of the data on Amstrad CPC cassette tapes, including:

• Accurate timing of pulses and pauses between data blocks
• Header blocks containing file names and information
• Data blocks containing the actual program code
• Special turbo loaders and custom loading routines

When played, you'll hear the characteristic digital sounds that Amstrad CPC users would have heard when loading software from tape.
