Abalore has a project he is working since September 2024 : the Abatape.

It is using an Arduino Nano ATMega328p@16 Mhz, a 700 mAH battery for about 24 hours of use, a SD reader and an OLED screen. It is especially able to detect the two motors making a real taping moving the magnetic band so it can support multi loading. Someone did suggest to add writing support to create new tape files. The Abatape supports of course the Amstrad CPC (.CDT) but several other computers as it is based on a Maxduino firmware :

• Spectrum : TAP, TZX
• MSX : CAS, TSX
• ZX80 : O
• ZX81 : P
• Acorn Atom, Electron : UEF (without compression), TSX
• Dragon 32/64, Tandy CoCo : CAS, TSX
• SVI Spectravideo : TSX
• Oric 1/Atmos : no .TAP support unless converted to TSX
