Opis:
Kaseta. [SLO]: V osemdesetih letih so se avdio kasete pogosto uporabljale za shranjevanje podatkov in distribucijo programske opreme domačih računalnikov, kot so Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum in drugi. Te kasete so uporabnikom omogočale dostopen in cenovno ugoden način nalaganja in shranjevanja njihovih programov in iger. Ta posebna kaseta je proizvod slovenskega proizvajalca plastičnih izdelkov, ki obstaja še danes. Avdio kasete so bile glavno sredstvo za shranjevanje podatkov v mnogih zgodnjih domačih računalnikih. Za nalaganje programa so uporabniki vstavili kaseto v kasetofon, povezan z računalnikom, pritisnili "predvajaj" in čakali, da se podatki preberejo. Ta postopek je pogosto trajal več minut, saj je računalnik pretvarjal analogni avdio signal v digitalne podatke. Dostop do specifičnih datotek ali delov podatkov na kaseti ni bil enostaven, saj so se kasete morale predvajati zaporedno, kar je onemogočalo naključni dostop. Uporabniki so morali prevrteti naprej ali nazaj do približne lokacije želenih podatkov, kar je bilo lahko zamudno in nepraktično. Koncept shranjevanja digitalnih podatkov kot zvok na avdio kaseti je bil preprost. Podatki so bili kodirani kot serija tonov, pri čemer so različne frekvence predstavljale binarne enice in ničle, podobno kot so modemi prenašali podatke po telefonskih linijah. Računalniški vmesnik za kasete je te zvoke dekodiral nazaj v digitalne informacije. Kljub pojavu disket v poznih sedemdesetih letih so avdio kasete ostale v uporabi vse do sredine osemdesetih let. To je bilo predvsem zaradi visokih stroškov diskovnih pogonov, ki so jih naredili manj dostopne povprečnemu domačemu uporabniku. Posledično so kasete še naprej bile priljubljena in ekonomska izbira za shranjevanje podatkov, tudi ko so postale na voljo bolj napredne tehnologije shranjevanja. [ENG]: In the 1980s, audio cassettes were widely used for data storage and software distribution in home computers like the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and others. These cassettes provided an affordable and accessible way for users to load and save their programs and games. This particular cassette is from a Slovenian manufacturer of plastic products that still exists today. Audio cassettes functioned as the primary medium for data storage in many early home computers. To load a program, users would insert a cassette into a tape recorder connected to the computer, press "play," and wait for the data to be read. This process often took several minutes as the computer converted the analog audio signal into digital data. Accessing specific files or parts of data on a cassette was not straightforward since tapes had to be played sequentially, making random access impossible. Users had to fast-forward or rewind to the approximate location of the desired data, a process that could be cumbersome and time-consuming. The concept of storing digital data as sound on an audio cassette was ingeniously simple. The data was encoded as a series of tones, with different frequencies representing binary ones and zeros, much like the way modems transmitted data over phone lines. The computer’s tape interface would decode these sounds back into digital information. Despite the emergence of floppy disks in the late 1970s, audio cassettes remained in use well into the mid-1980s. This was mainly due to the high cost of floppy drives, which made them less accessible to the average home computer user. Consequently, cassettes continued to be a popular and economical choice for data storage even as more advanced storage technologies became available.
