Re: Cassette recorder replacement?

Just an idea ....

Re: Cassette recorder replacement?

Hi,

During my testing i found out, that it is possible to "fastload" the creativision programms at twice the speed!!!!!

Will keep on testing ...

Greetings TOM:-)

You need only two pins of the tapeconnector (the first (from the front) is GND and the one before the last...
