added information on remote jack, standard pinout of cassette recorders and how to connect properly to the CPC
4 Data Input |3 1|
5 Data Output \5_2_4/
* The two Remote Control pins are connected to a relay inside of the CPC, the relay becomes closed when the /Motor On bit in PIO Port C is set to zero, ie. the cassette recorder may use the relay to switch its power suppy supply on and off when Play and/or Record is pressed - this is of course supposed for low-voltages only. You have to connect both pins to the remote connector of the cassette recorder.
* The CPC 6128+ does not include a Cassette Connector.
* [[Draysoft Doubler]] (external tape input, for tape-to-tape transfers)
