I don't remember any commercial/industrial computers that used compact cassettes. The early personal computers that used cassettes, you usually supplied the cassette recorder. And they worked on the principle of a modem. The output was 300 baud modem sounds, recorded by the cassette recorder. These were 30 characters per second. They were SLOW!
