[sdiy] Casio RZ-1 Mods?

[David Anderson]

Saving to/from a computer is a relatively simple trick: plug the cass out 
from the RZ-1 to the input of your sound card. Plug the audio out of your 
sound card to the cass in of the RZ-1.

To save to the computer, run an audio capture program. Set it up to record, 
then do whatever's necessary on the RZ-1 to save to cassette. To load the 
RZ-1, do the load sequence on the drum machine, then play back the audio 
you recorded on the computer.
