Well you still need to add the probe & then
think about incorporating the Async clock module.
If you tie a Digital I/O board or two on the PC & tie it
into the POD control software then you are well on your way to a
9100.

No
you cannot stuff an off the shelf tape player in the 9010a. The 9010a tape
drive has a 8041 micro controller that converts byte code commands from the
9010a Z-80 main board. The microcontroller generates the BDC 4-3(flux
change) tone code for the tape head. I am in the process of
developing an OCX and a front end prg to control the 9000 series pods from a
PC parallel printer port and use an external power supply to power the
pod. This will allow customized VB or C prg to be written to control
the pods and eliminate the 9010a unit entirely. I plan to have this
competed in a month or
so.
