Agreed and here's a photo of my set up with the Atom Lite solution (thanks Coolsnaz2 ). I've hacked into the analogue tape interface module but all it's doing is picking up SIN, SENSEB, 5V and GND (I still use the old tape interface on occasions). There is a track to cut on the Tape Interface PCB so if you want more info Colin, let me know.

Alternately I would be inclined in the first instance to just wire the 4 signals to the back of RealView to a local Grove 4 pin floating socket. If at some point you want to expand to having the full bus broken out then it's easy to remove.
