Agreed.  I've followed this with some interest for the past month or so, and
was seriously considering purchase after reading the Wired article - until I
got to the very bottom and read that the cassette interface was not
implemented.

No physical storage of any kind?  Sheesh.  I could use MESS as easily.
:(  I appreciate the technical challenge of what he's done, but fail to see
the point of doing 90% of the job.  The Apple I was much more than just a
keyboard that let you type onto a screen (even if you did have to key in
your own BIOS on every power-on ;).
