I'll be using a 16C874 to collect data and then dump it to a standard tape recorder. I was considering FSK but QPSK offers better data density. Yes, I know, it can all be done with solid state memories, but consider this , the data interface is RS232C, the proposed data format is TAR (uncompressed) and the quantity of data is small. Tapes are very cheap and tape recorders can be purchased for < $50.00 (AUS). The QPSK interface will hopefully be very cheap to put together. This permits connection to any PC, Laptop, PDA, UNIX, LINUX, Ultrix, SunOS, IRIX, you name it work station and OS. I welcome all pro's and cons.
