GMS@PSUVM.BITNET (02/20/85)

I received a tape that supposedly has a message encoded somewhere within
      in a format known as 'Tomita'. (??? i got this second-hand so am
      not sure)  It is of an album called 'the Bermuda Triangle' by
      Tomita.  Any ideas in netland??

I belive that one of Tomita's albums did contain some information which
could be used as input to a micro (type unknown to me). If this was done I
belive that some kind of message appeared on the crt.

There is certainly an album by Tomita called "Bermuda Triangle". I had to
buy it as a present a few years ago. 

I think that this could also be the album with the *encoded* message on it.

I heard that somewhere on the record, there is a message encoded.
( I don't know where, I don't have the record)  And the message
is encoded in Tarbell cassette tape format.  The Tarbell format
originated from an S-100 cassette interface board manufactured
by Tarbell electronics.  It uses phase encoding, with hex E5
as a sync byte I think.  I have a Tarbell board that I haven't
used in a long time (since I moved up to a disk controller).
