[sdiy] Sampler with tape dump?

[Roman Sowa]

Using modern modulation techniques like QAM256 one could achieve much 
higher throughput from a cassete. I wouldn't be surprised to see 200kbps 
of clean data after all correction stuff, so that 128kB Commodore loads 
in like 5 seconds.

Using standard ZX tape routines it'd take about 15 minutes to load or save, considerably slower than floppy disk. Even using something like Speedlock would only take that down to about 10-11 minutes.
