Nina KalininaFolks, I think I am finally ready to Program on my Computer
Will Deakin@nina_kali_nina does this go on to explain how you can save the program to audio tape using a tape recorder provided at considerable additional expense?
@wnd it does, except you need an additional accessory to connect to the tape recorder.
@nina_kali_nina the old "this special wire" not the full "new tape recorder" switcheroo. Handy if you 1. have a generic tape recorder at hand 2. are good at soldering your own cables and/or 3. have enough money left to buy a special wire... #capitalism
@wnd it seems to have an amp and does some weird stuff with singal going to two pins for reading the tape in, and one of those signals is controlled by the computer somehow but not as in "stop/play signal". So it's definitely beyond a simple cable. The DIY version has a transistor and a couple of diodes
