Thanks again.
I totally understand the thinking my original reason to get one was to hook it up to my little Alpha I am building using a PI as an emulator so that I could read back in my tape and try it!

Then of course why would you not hook it up to all the retro machines you have - maybe load Benton Harbor BASIC into my H8 would be fun.
