[Coco] [Color Computer] Way around it?

[Karl Sefcik]

Vacuumboy,

    If you have the cassette interface cable, then all you need to do is 
plug it into any cassette recorder, the only thing is that the tape 
speed is slower, and that tape can be only played back on normal 
machines. If you have an inexpensive cassette recorder from a drug store 
or Target (or other), that will work fine.
   One other thing, you may have to turn the input level down because 
the Coco data is a square wave, and you will be recording on a device 
that is made for recording audio. Likewise, you may have to jack the 
playback output up.
   I bought a table Pennfest one year, realized I brought my Coco (for 
demos), but failed to bring a data recorder (was going to travel light, 
with just a Coco, CM-8 and tape deck. I bought an ordinary cassette 
player, was able to save data, and later I bid on one in an auction and 
got one. Just that the tapes I made before on the other wouldn't work on 
the latter, because they played back at a higher frequency, and weren't 
recognized by the Coco as data for it.
