 There might be issues with "The Glove".  I know I couldn't load it from 
a PC sound card because it expected to be able to stop the cassette and 
start it at will, but of course there was no "remote" pause connection 
to the PC.  Maybe that's a different issue -- it could still be using 
the ROM's cassette routines.
