Yes thanks! I was looking at that. However, the model show there is
slightly different than mine.. mine doesn't have the keypad on the front.
It only has a power and reset key. I assume as Chuck suggested to me
previously there is a way to pass commands via serial to get it to do
something.. but I've not found any info on what you need.

Hi there,
I have a Memodyne M-80 Digital Cassette 'Computer' which, in talking
to people more experienced than me, seems to be just a digital
cassette recorder. Googling around there seems to be very little info
out there, although one paper written about their use with scientific
equipment detailed some of the bits triggered to make the recorder
operate. Mine has several cards including a Z80 CPU card and serial
input/output.
I was wondering if anyone out there was familiar with these and/or had
a manual? I read these were even used sometimes with SWTPC
terminals/computers, so I'd be interested to see if I can get it running.
Thanks!!
Brad
I found some interesting information about it in the Appendices of this
technical report:

Apparently the product was used in several documented data acquisition
applications over the course of the early '80s.
Best,
