Card Readers And Writers
maaking a magnetic card reader/writer using a tape head from a tape recorder?
i saw somewhere how to make a magnetic card reader/writer using a tape head, which converted the signal from the card into "waves" on a computer. i was looking for this page again, but couldnt find it, anyone have an idea what im thinking about, send me the link, please. all i rememeber is that it would read the data off the card and using a computer program convert it to - i dont know what theyre called, but they looked like mountain peaks (kind of like when you use windows recorder)
Yeah, I looked and didn't find much, but I did find a project that seems to be, at least a little, in line with what you are looking for.

I know you asked for a taperecorder project, but this is the best I could find.
