Has anyone tried using a Digital Voice Recorder? The advantage of using the Cassette (audio) interface is that the format is understood by many M100 type systems and no software or drivers are needed. The drawback is, it's slow. I think I will try using a Digital Voice Recorder for storing and retrieving the next time I have my M100 set-up. If it works, it will still be as slow as a cassette tape drive. But naming the programs and finding the start of them on a Digital Voice Recorder is much easier than on tape. Also, the digital voice files can be backed up to a computer much more easily than tape backups.

I set out to do this with an Arduino some years ago and built the hardware on a breadboard. I never got past decoding the FSK signal from my M102 though and gave up for whatever reason. I think I ordered a REX. 🙂 The idea was to store the decoded bits in a 1MB EEPROM connected to the Arduino's SPI interface. On Sat, Apr 3, 2021, 17:59 John R.

I don't know if it stored an audio file or decoded. Digital/decoded storage would be the way to go. The cassette file byte format is understood. It could be done in a smart phone app or embedded device. -- John.
