Ok guys,
I've made major progress. Tonight, I'm actually loading stuff into
the CoCo from my laptop via CLOAD and CLOADM.
cocotape.exe will take a PC-stored file and generate a crisp smooth
simulated cassette file audio stream that the CoCo enjoys
loading. I'm confirming error-free CLOADM's because the PC is
creating a copy of the VDG screen filled with text strings. The PC
is effectively doing a CSAVEM "FILENAME",1024,1535,0 and the CoCo
just does a CLOADM and it gets the live screen, ofcourse. This is
just a way of seeing the bytes as they're transferred and that they
are error-free.
I guess I need to put a .cas file decoder in there before it's done,
since Vavasour's casout.exe doesn't want to output live sound on any
Windows version I've tried it on.
