Inside there should be a little lever at the top left corner to detect
whether a tape is write protected. If you can hold that in while hitting
play/record you won't need a tape. At least I recall doing that back in
the day to get a portable tape recorder to work as an impromptu mic with
preamp. Many of them had a line-out which mates up just fine with the
line-in of your Mac (or your Apple II+).

Heh. I hooked up an old cassette recorder to my line-in once I could hear it,
and pressed Record, thus activating its internal mic and channeling it through
the Mac. It made a MUCH better microphone than my Shore concert mic hooked to
a Roland MicroCube guitar amp. If you ignored the cassette-drive sounds and
that fact that you had to have a tape in there, recording your side of the
dialog, just to make it work.
