If more enthusiasts are interested in this project, then contribute to this thread and we could create a library similar to the nice existing audio software library pro SHARP PC-1500.
I've wrote already a program to PC 1211, then connected CE-121 output to desktop PC with Windows 7 and used the simple standard Windows 7 program audio record.I tested the file by connecting CE-121 to PC plug for headphones. I have to use software sound booster and increased output volume to 250% of maximum volume and the program was flawlessly written into SHARP PC 1211.
I uploaded that program, it's memory test game, load it as MEMORY, press SHFT A and enjoy! It's here: hp35.wz.cz/1211/memory.wma

Perhaps storing the programs in TRS-80 CAS format (same idea as the various TAP formats for Commodore and Sinclair home computers) would be an option. There is a list of conversion utilities at:
