Apologies - the Wired article reads as follows:

"There's also no interface of any kind for a storage device. The original
stored programs on tape cassette, but Briel hasn't recreated the cassette
interface."

At the time (due to the Wired article? ;), his site was down.  At this time,
the only thing I see related to the cassette interface is the phrase "Coming
soon, cassette interface!", which may well have been added after the Wired
article was researched.

In short - while what he's done thus far is impressive, to date, there is no
cassette interface.
