This reminds me of a project I've seen recently for the Amiga, where it
uses a FTDI VDIP1 dev board, and plugs into an amiga Parallel port. A
device driver on the Amiga side, and you have a USB Thumb drive based hard
drive for about $40 in parts.
here's more about that project:

A Sony digital voice recorder in SHQ mode is a much better solution compared to
a CCR-81. Fits in your shirt pocket and doesn't require tapes, or rewinding, or
finding the proper location on the tape, hours and hours and hours of storage.

- portable, extra batteries available from any shop
- storage cassettes available from shops and thrift stores
- no need for linux or any software skills
- user friendly interface, great for beginners
- uses standard cassette drive cable, or alternatively a DIN adapter cable
My Pi runs on battery, auto launches dlplus, and uses a 3inch touch screen,
Usage is as easy as turn it on, and shut off is *tap*tap*hit power switch*
:D Super easy to use, and yes, it has much nerd cred, and yes it is

the Pi has some issues
1) it has no safe on/off switch. you can't simply power it down!

3) linux. You have to be linux savvy to use it. period.
4) needs a "non trivial' cab
As far as I know, the answer is NO. It's not as simple as you hope it would be.
Because you have to realise that the Model T's are, by today's standards,
really primitive computers. There is not even a Disk Operatin System build in.
The only thing that even resembles a DOS, is the communication
