Not with high quality tape and a good recorder, but...

It was a set of 3 pokes, unforch, I don't know what they were, either. 
However, I used 'em quite a bit 'way back in the day' on my CoCo2...

I loved teasing my buddy with a C=64 with a floppy drive; in double-speed 
mode, my tape drive was faster! ;-)

Then I bought a floppy system, and didn't use the tape system again until I 
got my Tandy 200... until I got the floppy for that... ;-)
