This project is a tape cassette emulator. It's plugged on a USB port and a USB to serial converter communicates with a XR2206/XR2211 modem. It also helps for debugging the KCS modem.

For some reason, the KCS modem works, but attempting to use the same values of components for the tape emulator didn't work. After struggling with everything, it finally works!
