They're recovering Magnetic Scrolls from some actual magnetic scrolls. There's something beautifully poetic there.

What a fascinating project! The tooling source code sounds like a pretty awesome find as well. Wish you guys the best of luck and thank you for documenting your efforts!
I salute your effort! Best wishes.

But my real challenge is much more interesting. I have a few tapes with more of my very early software... but they were stored using an extremely proprietary device, invented in my country, so essentially nobody knows that it exists (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=1000510). I have the raw tapes, but I'm not sure how to get started, even. Probably try to interpret bits and trying to find strings. Exciting times ahead!
