(archive link)I was donated a box of 3" floppy disks by Tim Follin a couple of years ago that contained backups of the music he wrote in the late 80s and early 90s whilst working at Software Creations in Manchester (UK).
The music was hand-coded by Tim and Geoff Follin in assembler as a series of DEFB's, with that data containing note pitch and duration, and control data.
This data was then played by a small driver, also written in assembly language, in the games.
The assembler/editor was a custom application written by Mike Webb / Ste Ruddy and ran on a Tatung Einstein TC-01. The resultant source code was saved out on said 3" floppy disks.
for those unaware of his work, he was particularly infamous for going absolutely wild on obscure titles you wouldn't expect to have amazing music. such as Pictionary and Silver Surfer.
while still going hard on proper classics such as Plok and Solstice.
the hardware he used during this time period was the Tatung Einstein TC-01 as noted, which is how the disks were transferred over. though unfortunately a few sides of the disks seem to be corrupted, as well as a few of the non-corrupted disks contaning blank zero-byte files.
the person dumping them has also provided a more detailed explanation of Tim's work process of the time.
