  I have a cute idea for a cassette port project

 Why not just go inside and grab the signal at it source before any of the
 analog?  it starts life at TTL waveforms (not 5V). 
 It sounds like he is
contemplating a battery-powered tape drive
 emulator that plugs on the outside of the machine for users to use
 without opening their boxes.  It would then be portable to other
 machines.  Sounds like a great idea. 
A sound recorder, how novel.  My I phone and
androids already do that.
Before that I use tape recorders.
   Why are you
trying to get to 5V in the first place? 
 Digital input to the AVR. 
 Sounds more
complicated than need be.
AVR can measure small signals using the A/D and then do a bit of looking
for zeo crossing to
detect bit times.
