[sdiy] Synth data storage on tape

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I remember a thread either here or AH about trying to do this kind of thing
by using a PC with a soundcard to store/restore such data.  Had anyone
actually tried it?  The files might be large (tho it may also work as MP3
which would be smaller than WAV) but at least they don't depend on mechanical
tape drives and cassette media.  Disk drives are getting really big now and
the data could be backed up to CD or DVD.  I don't have synth equipment that
uses tape data store, but I do have a couple of OLD computers that do, so one
day when I'm really bored, I might give it a shot...
