A somewhat related question:
What I have is an industry-standard data cassette -
they look almost
exactly like home audio cassettes except for the 2mm notch in the top
middle of the case, and they typically have red or white plastic flaps
rather than bust-out-tabs for write protect - i.e. you can
write-enable a tape by flipping the flap over the hole again.
I just found a data casette system I'm trying to find info on and it
uses the same cassette with the
2mm notch. The casette labeled as a DC-40FL.
The cassettes go into a tape machine made by MFE industries an MFE 2500.
The machine has 6 toggles: local copy, rewind, on line, binary, send,
receive. A
rotary baud rate selector: 110,300, 1200, 2400 and several lights:
online, binary, send, recieve
On the back there are, what appears are two serial port connections a 25
pin male connector labeled
MODEM ans a 25 pin female, labeled TERMINAL.
I assume it can be used as a simple serial line tape machine???
I haven't been able to find any relevant info on the net!
