Saving to Cassette on Casio Z-1GR?

The comparison sheet makes reference to (via link-click, not direct URL string):

a website by Marcus vonCube, the same as on here, I believe. The link gives you stuff in English, but his website is in German. However, it has an English version button.

His file states the Z-1 and FX-890P lack a tape interface. However, by using a bas850 source text translator (a program he provides on his site?) you can use cassettes via a serial or USB interface. Whether those interfaces utilize the FA-6, it didn't mention. But I didn't read the whole thing.
Maybe that helps.

It does help. You're right about dropping support for cassette. At that point, Casio had come out with a 3.5" floppy drive and in the Z-1, SAVE works only with that and the RS-232. The floppy is almost impossible to find these days. Bummer!
