I have a DCC (digital compact cassette) recorder and I wanna know how
to modify an analogue cassette to record on my deck? I did a
google/google groups search and found some info, but no real in depth
explanation or pictures on how it's done.

The mods must be mechanical

You might try to buy some DCC media to see what mechanical mods to perform.

Here's a list of sources of DCC media:

Got a DCC? You see the notch in it, that isn't in a standard chrome tape?
Get a chrome tape and cut that notch in it. Some brands will work better
than others. The last I looked, the BASF chrome duplicator bulk loads were
okay, but that was a decade ago.

I don't have a DCC tape to compare to a regular chrome tape.

So you have a DCC recorder with NO tapes at all?

You might be able to look and see where the feeler gadget at the top of
the tape is.

Can someone PLEASE give me possibly a link to a website with a
tutorial (and possibly pics) for doing this?

I doubt such a thing exists. Get a DCC tape and you'll find it is pretty
obvious to see where the sensor notch is.

Or if someone can reffer me to a picture of a modified tape, even
better!

Nearly ten years ago there was a discussion in Stereophile of doing it, probably
with pictures. They decided it was a bad idea.

XWindows DUUUDE: you will NEVER get a straight answer from this Dorsey
guy. He appears all patient and cooperative and all, BUT it's just a
ploy:
I have been asking him for years now how to modify my 8-track
cartridges to read the 18-minute gap from an Echoplex and it's just
DELAY DELAY DELAY.

You should try another newsgroup. Quickly.
