ZX80, ZX81, Spectrum, Acorn Acom, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, etc, etc.
Do you count machines like the Amstrad CPC464 which had a built-in
cassette recorder?

And don't forget the Commodore cassette port - used on the PET, VIC, C64, ...

This blurred the line between built-in cassette drives and cassette ports, since the built-in drive on early PETs became the separate drive on later ones, plugging into the same port.

This didn't just switch the motor, it powered it from the computer.

Also unusual, I think, was that it didn't use a modem chip to generate tones, but bit-banged them in software.
