Wait a minute.... How do people read stuff like
VIC-20 cassette tapes into
the computer to use in emulators? That's what you need to look into if you
want to try something like this.
Speaking for the Timex/Sinclair community, most of us use sound-card
utilities whereby we can load or save programs and/or data using a cassette
recorder. For the zx81, there is actually a utility which sends an audio
signal out the PC's parallel port, to be directly loaded into a zx81 or saved
on tape for use later.
If you wish, I could direct you to the authors of these utilities -- one of
them may be interested in helping you solve this problem.

Hmmm, do I understand that first part correctly that you're essentially
using the PC as a cassette recorder? That *REALLY* appeals to my sick sense
of humor. Now what machines do I have that can use cassette tapes.... :^)
