-> This problem of space seems to come up alot in discussing different

-> discussed several months ago: the interfacing of a tape recorder to

-> working on it?
I musta have missed that, but I was thinking of hooking up my Commodor
Tape drive to the calculator, I have it hooked up to the computer as a
test at the moment, I think it's possible, the only problem is is that
it has 3 bits: READ, WRITE, and STATUS. You could read/write from the
same link port pin, and have the Status on the other I guess. One thing
is is that I don't know how fast to write to the tape.
If anyone has any routines ( on the PC ) to use the Commodor tape drive
please send them to me.
