I gave that some thought but I have no idea how you would do that.
And, being as everything I have ever done on an Arduino was in C++
I doubt even a hex dump of the contents would reveal much.  Very low s/n 
ratio.

Well, based on the commands it takes I think more like a serial port
equivalent to the cassette player.  Not a bad idea as the cassette
was never particularly reliable.  I was actually amazed at how well
mine worked after sitting in a corner for more than two decades.
And to test it I even loaded Zaxxon successfully.  :-)  I should
have tried to play it, but I don't remember how.
