Radio shack TRS-80 PC-1 and PC-2 - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Well, the idea is this; Simple three line basic prog running on the calc, doing
'input#' for data from a sound card. The encoding format is kind of documented
as is the text->bin conversion. There are already a pair of programs that will
handle conversion from wav->bin->text or bin->wav, just not
text->bin->wav.

They're also DOS utils with no source availibility, and their support for the 
PC-1
(Sharp PC-1211) isn't 100%..

 make them appear as serial devices.. A couple hundred baud fake serial
 connect over /dev/dsp is looking mighty feasable.. 
 I'd love to hear how this worked. I've got a PC-3 and PC-4 in my stable.
 Care to explain in greater detail how you're connecting/communicating with
 them?
