Re: "Anyone working on any non-CPU projects?"
That's a neat format! I hadn't heard of it before. It doesn't really fit with my project though, since I'm going for more of a joke rather than anything practical. I thought the idea of storing a modern digital music format on an old analog one then intentionally ruining it with effects that make it sound like a tape again would be funny. Kind of like a musical successor to Tom7's reverse-emulated NES.
I'll be keeping an eye out for DCC equipment though... That would be cool to play with.

stack: oh, maybe I didn't explain it well. I'll be starting with a normal, high quality audio file and not original tape music. I'll be storing it digitally on the tape, and the digital data can be denoised because of the quantization.

Anyone working on any non-CPU projects? — Most hobbyist FPGA projects that I've seen are homebrew CPUs or emulators for old computers or game platforms. They're cool projects and a rite of passage (I've got my own too), but I'm curious if anyone is working on anything totally different. My current project is an attempt to take audio off a cassette tape, decode it as digital data, then treat that as a stream of mp3 data and decode it on the fly - playing music without the noise, high-freq...
