I believe there is an image of this tape included with the 9800E emulator, so it may not be necessary to image it.

I'm not 100% certain, but it appears to me that the two 11273 tape images provided with the emulator may be corrupt. I've posted a question in the emulator project forum about that:

It might still be desirable to come up with an independent image of MattisLind's cassette. I haven't yet tried to play a 9830-written tape in an audio player, so I'm not sure whether any reasonable results could be obtained that way. I'm considering writing a binary program that can dump a tape out the printer interface. Since the printer interface is an 8-bit wide TTL interface, it should be easily connected to a PC using an FT245 or FT2232 based USB-parallel module, though the mating connector for the 9830 printer interface is rather pricey. I don't have a 11205A serial interface, or I'd use that.
