[Coco] Another cload post for Diego [ Recovering Fast Cassette Saves]

[Willard Goosey]

I could swear I have more information about this tweak but I can't
find it. :-(

Again, I've never tried this, I found out about it long after I'd
moved all my coco stuff off tape.

This specifically refers to csaves made in hi-speed, but I could swear
either this (sometimes) works for cload IO errors or there's another
set of numbers for bad saves made at regular speed.

Those are the bytes that contain the 1200/2400Hz partition time, upper 
limit of 1200Hz, and upper limit of 2400Hz.

Seems to me it would be much easier to just read the tapes in Fast mode, 
but maybe that doesn't work.
