The full story
Casey Bralla's Rockwell AIM 65, a late-70s microcomputer with a QWERTY keyboard, a 20-character display and a thermal printer, is miserable to program line by line. Hackaday covers his solution: generate a WAV file that mimics the machine's cassette interface and play it in, so whole programs load from audio instead of being typed.
