I was thinking more about that and I came to conclusion that it should
be possible
to connect any MP3 player/recorder directly to ZX Spectrum audio input/output,

That should make archiving data much easier and faster.
Other possibility is to store data on normal PC via RS232 which in fact
we are currently using because we cannot find the microdrives.
