Playing audio with TEAC MT-2ST/45D data tape streamer. Cassette looks very similar to audio cassettes but is not the same. The streamer has a QIC2 interface which only exists in ISA card format. With the IC PDIUSBD12 I made an interface to a modern computer. The streamer plays a 32kHz mono wave file double buffered in 512kB blocks. The streamer delivers 86kB/s, but some less because it stops between the blocks to sync with the wave. The C function used is waveoutwrite to direct the data to the sound card.
