Hi Mr Gigi. Thanks for your video. I had a VZ200 computer when I was about 11. I've been doing a little bit of reading online about this computer. I just remember I really couldn't do anything with it. I see on the link below there was a data cassette recorder for the VZ200. Sorry for being naive but were data cassettes and audio cassettes different? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTech_Laser_200#/media/File:Vz_periph.png
No. They were the same. The bits of data were stored as audio signal, that was encoded and decoded by the computer. When loading, the user would give the computer the 'load' command, then start the tape. Same for the saving. Regular cassettes, and casettes recorders were used. Except, that the user had to adjust the reading head of the casette player, to get a clean sound, as the program would not load. But, If you used your own device to write and read programs that was not necesarry.
You need a cassete recorder, the cassete and wires to connect the audio ports of your computer and your audio recording device. Whatever. I think, you could use your phone for that, but not sure if there are some adjustments to be done.
