When the tape is connected, all the values of the cassette connector
(measured on the bottom of the board) are near 0V or 5V. If I send a LOAD or
SAVE command, the one I found to be the READ is around 2V, another one is
over 6V (!). But maybe it is another signal.
On the bottom of the plus/4 motherboard the cassette connector looks like
this:
oooo
(serial here) oo o (expansion here)
Do you know what are the READ and WRITE pins? I think I made mistakes...

Maybe it is a stupid question: a 'pull up' resistor is a normal resistor
simply connected between Vcc and the signal line or I have to ask for a
specific type of resistor?
