Hey, the ZX Spectrum (the finest 8-bit machine made) stored data
using monaural audio. It averaged about 1500bps, not exactly
super fast, but faster than the ZX81 which was only about 300bps.
I guess given MD audio is rather better than telephone quality,
it should be able to store data with all the phase-shift stuff used by
a 56K modem. Of course perhaps these v90 modems use signals
the ATRAC algorithm would trash?
