If the ZX Spectrum release is from a tape, it [https://timwolverson.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/how-to-convert-zx-spectrum-programs-from-cassette-tape-to-tzx-files/ should be saved first from the original cassette into a tzx file]. Make sure you save the complete disk, not just a single program from it. Once the tape is saved, [https://github.com/shred/tzxtools install tzxtools] to extract the last three files from them.
For instance, for the original Incentive release (1987), you can inspect their files using the <code>tzxls</code> command:


Once the tape is saved, [https://github.com/shred/tzxtools install tzxtools] to extract some files from them:
<code> $ tzxls driller.tzx


For the original Incentive release (1987) run:
...


<code>tzxcat driller.tzx -b 8 > driller.zx.extracted</code>
5  Turbo Speed Data Block      6912 bytes of bogus header


6  Turbo Speed Data Block      37590 bytes of bogus header
7  Turbo Speed Data Block      6912 bytes of bogus header
</code>
In order to extract these files, use the <code>tzxcat</code> command:
<code>
tzxcat driller.tzx -b 5 > driller.zx.title
tzxcat driller.tzx -b 6 > driller.zx.data
tzxcat driller.tzx -b 7 > driller.zx.border
