This won't work because the digital signals from the calc have to be
converted into sound. You can't record the binary signals as 0v or 5v,
it must be audio signals before they can be stored on a tape. However it
is possible the make a device which will do the conversion to audio when
you save data, and back to digital signals again when you restore data,
just like a modem.
