[Coco] CoCo Emulators

Thanks, Bill.  That makes a lot of sense.  I’ll give it a try.  That might explain why the .cas file was saved to my OneDrive instead of to the same directory as the VCC.

After looking at your sequence of events a little better...First, you never mounted a tape before saving.
You must first mount a tape with the "Browse" button. You do not need an existing tape file as VCC will create a new one from the name you type in or load an existing one, in the directory you have "browsed" to.
Basically, you recorded to thin air, then created a blank tape and tried to read it.
Tapes and the files you save on them are two different entities. in fact, one tape file can have an unlimited number of program files (or until the tape counter runs out). Just like real tapes. Emulation... ya gotta love it.
