✦ Synopsis

A means of transferring computer data on audio cassettes to another computer via an RS232 serial port is described. Simpler microcomputers are often only equipped with cassette facilities for the storage of programs and data. Such data can be transferred to another computer which has a serial port using the hardware interface which is presented here and which is designed to handle the transfer of information in either direction. The storage of data on cassettes using the BBC microcomputer is used as a specific example. An outline of the associated software is also included.
