Well, as you've heard there's a little more to connecting via USB than
connecting 4 wires together.
However, it might be feasible to connect to an MP3 player/recorder...

Well, i was thinking about "very cheap mass storage for the c64"; and I
selected the tape port in particular so other devices at userport (speeddos
cable!) and expansion port (ram expansion! mmc! etc.etc.) would not be bothered.
Furthermore the fact that USB hardware needs four lines only almost begged it
to be plugged in to the tape port; if it had worked, the hardware costs would
have been as cheap as just connecting four pins from the USB stick to four
lines of the tape port. Would have. But now that there is the speed problem,
there's no such thing as a free lunch eh...
