A thought: Wouldn't be possible to take an old PC, connect its serial port 
through a C2N232 to the tape recorder and make the PC act like a file 
server, similar to how 64HDD works for the IEC connector? Maybe this 
software already exists. While it neither is an USB solution nor a very 
flexible one, it would be relatively cheap.

As for a related project, how about the MMC2IEC project that already exists 
and is working? I don't know how much that device interfers with IEC 
communication and speed loaders, but from a practical point an MMC/SD memory 
card costs almost as little as an USB memory stick these days, if not even 
less.
