You realize this thing doesn't just plug into the console's audio output right? Even if a normal tape player/recorder will work, you still need a way to connect it to the console. Normally this was done by plugging it into the keyboard and plugging the keyboard into the 15 D-SUB-like connector on the front of the Famicom.

Besides, I don't want to deal with slow and ancient cassette tapes. I was asking if there was ever a flashcart or other accessory that can support or emulate it, like how there are flashdrives for the Sega Genesis now that can emulate the SegaCD without needing an actual SegaCD attached. And if not, if any emulators supported it at least.

And even if not, I would at least need to know some way to connect the pinout of the cassette recorder to whatever equivalent the NES had, if it even has any equivalent, or if there is no way to connect the tape recorder directly due to the keyboard having on-board hardware required for it's operation. I have no idea if the 3.5mm jacks that connect the keyboard to the tape recorder as just a pass-through or if the keyboard actually has some sort of modulator/demodulator to convert digital data coming from the port to audio for the cassette player and back.

Did the "Family Computer" have a word processor? A calculator? Could you file your taxes or write proper software? And what about the Super Famicom?
