I believe that the ex-Buzzcock Peter Shelley released a special 
cassette version of his second solo album, XL1, that had the album on 
side one and a computer program encoded on side two, for whatever was 
the most popular British home computer of the era.  Chris Sievey of 
the Freshies used to do the same thing on b-sides of singles around 
the same time.
