Hello, I have built a homemade cable to try using the cassette port with Cassette Basic on an IBM 5150 PC. I am finding the information on using the cassette port really sparse. I have been able to send a file listing to a battery operated cassette player OK, as it sounds reasonable to the ear. However I only managed to do that by tweaking the volume level on the cassette player, which may have automatic volume control. I can't seem to read the file though while playing with the volume settings, etc.
Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has seen a good detailed account of using the IBM 5150 cassette port, with some tips and suggestions that will save me from re-inventing the wheel. Otherwise I will have to pull out the digital oscilloscope and really dig into this. Thank You, Michael
