Hi,
I did! I hooked up my Akai 4000DS reel-to-reel
(transistor, not valve) to my Compukit UK101. The idea was
to try to record faster by using higher freqencies and a
higher baud rate -- and a higher tape speed, 7 1/2 ips.
*nod* (see my other reply post)
I do seem to recall a magazine giving away a cover "disc" - which was one
of those flexible 7" vinyl discs - you shoved that on your record deck and
fed it to your spectrum. Seemed quite a neat idea - I never bought the mag
tho. I suppose looking back now I should have done :&/

While it is possible to use such machines to store programs
from most
home computers, I don't think many people did. Somebody
actually told me
the IBM PC 'cassette port' wouldn't work with a reel-to-reel tape
recorder, but never gave a sensible reason why not (and FWIW, I don't
believe it won't work).

As far as I can see, anything that'll record and play back
audio should work on a cassette port. So a reel-to-reel
machine should be fine, as should, say 45rpm vinyl records.
Didn't one of the Elektor machines use 45s for software
distribution? Wasn't there once a music CD with software
on one track (for a Spectrum?)?
