Speaking for the Timex/Sinclair community, most of us use sound-card
utilities whereby we can load or save programs and/or data using a cassette
recorder. For the zx81, there is actually a utility which sends an audio
signal out the PC's parallel port, to be directly loaded into a zx81 or saved
on tape for use later.

If you wish, I could direct you to the authors of these utilities -- one of
them may be interested in helping you solve this problem.
