    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.&nbsp; The microcontroller generates the BDC 4-3(flux
    change)&nbsp; tone code for the tape head.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; This will allow customized VB or C prg to be written to control
    the pods and eliminate the 9010a unit entirely.&nbsp; I plan to have this
    competed in a month or
    so.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
