I think that what 'philpem' was looking
for was not the stuff from Lesea
and Zaks, but the circuit information and software images that
Wiggeshoff offered to send on request.
A number of years ago (heck, the prototype probably comes under the 10
year rule :-)) I designed a little interface to convert between audio
cassette data (using the standard 1200Hz/2400Hz tones) and an RS232 port.
I know I used it to read BBC micro cassettes and BASICODE recordings into
a machine with an RS232 port. It works at up to 1200 baud. The Tx used a
crystal clock and a set of counters, the Rx used the classic 2 monostable
circuit. And I even used one of the handshake lines to turn a relay on
and off to control the cassette motor.
I can't find the physical unit, but I can find the schematics and parts
list for it. I'd be happy to make one or 2 copies of this (but not many
more) and to send them out. I'd also have no objections to further
distribution, so if somebody wants to scan them and stick them on a
suitable website, that would be fine.
If anyone is interested, let me know.
I have a scanner and would like to build one.
