Changes
The .TAP files contain blocks of tape-saved data. All blocks start with two bytes specifying how many bytes will follow (not counting the two length bytes). Then raw tape data follows, starting with the flag byte. Unlike speccy format, the checksum bytes are not included, so you don't need calculate the crc-ccitt every 256 bytes, or padding the last page with zeroes, or ending with four 0xff bytes trailer.
