Although the cassette recorder that I use with my ][ (on rare occassion
for nostalgia purposes) is from the early to mid 1980's era, I'll tell you
what make/brand it is anyways, as it seems to work flawlessly with the
cassette input/output ports on the ][/][+/IIe computers.

It's a Tandy/Radio Shack CCR-81 Computer Cassette Recorder deck (white
with black trim in appearance). Due to it's color finish (mostly white),
Tandy no doubt marketed it for use with the Tandy/Radio Shack Color
Computer 2 and Color Computer 3 systems, although the hookup cable they
included with it could have been used to hook it up to any of the Radio
Shack brand computer systems from those 8 bit days which used a Cass
In/Out port (ie. the grey Color Computer 1, the grey TRS-80 Model 1, Model
III, and the white Model IV systems, etc.).

None the less, it has the standard EARphone, AUXillary, mini-REMote, and
MICrophone jacks on it, so using standard mono hook up cables, it can be
plugged into and ][, ][+, or //e computer.
