[Coco] loading programs via cassette interface

[Keith Monahan]

Hi there,

Recently back to the CoCo community after a cool 35 or so years.

I'm trying to play around with a Speech and Sound Cartridge. Looking 
through the manual, it seems to take quite a few commands to get that 
setup to actually do anything.

Since my card slot is taken, my CoCoSDC, which I have to unbox and 
really play with --- won't help me here.

Is there a way using sound card output to transmit programs via a sound 
card and then CLOAD them in?

I can certainly google, and have done so, but I'm not sure what the 
ideal current solution is.

Ideally I can use modern keyboard/mouse editor to key in programs, 
convert them to audio, playing using Audacity or similar, CLOAD on the 
coco, and away I go. Or is there a better way? Using an emulator?

The prices on these multipak interfaces seem absurd to me, and modern 
recreations are unavailable. Is there any other solution to using 
multiple carts simultaneously(sharing the bus of course) ?

Thanks,
Keith
