| Summary | 0000450: SIMH emulated tape files (".tap") mis-identified as ATARI Degas | ||||
| Description | Emulated tape files for SIMH emulated tape drives are mis-identified as ATARI Degas Elite bitmap 640 x 400 x 2, color palette 0000 d08f 0000 0700 5dc1 ... SIMH is a well-known computer hardware emulator. (it will be the 0000001 result of a Google search for SIMH). Computers that have tape drives usually have simulated/emulated support on SIMH. There is a file format which (probably) will never change because a change in the format would cause widespread breakage to software which is distributed as SIMH tape files. Numerous SIMH tape files are distributed in the Internet Archive, The Unix Historical Society, SourceForge, GitHub, etc. References: https://github.com/simh/simtools | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install file. I tested this on Arch Linux 2023-05-20 and Ubuntu 23.04. Download a SIMH *.tap file. Example: https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/UCB/4.1BSD-19810901-reconstructed/tape1.tap.xz $ unxz tape1.tap.xz $ file tape1.tap tape1.tap: Atari DEGAS Elite bitmap 640 x 400 x 2, color palette 0000 d08f 0000 0700 5dc1 ... | ||||
