Hooray! That's what I was looking for. Works great, too.

With due respect to Robert Gault, his ideas will not work unless 2 things 
are true: (1) the original cassette is readable without problems, *and* (2) 
there is no less than 5 seconds gap between files. Jeff Vavasour's CASIN.EXE 
quits after 5 seconds of silence after the file.

The tapes I'm working with are *old*, and have sever dropouts. The only way 
I can get them to load is by fudging the system, by manipulating the system 
variable at $8F. This is the 1200/2400 hertz partition, and is set to $12 by 
default. Increasing it to $14 means that I can load the files without the 
dreaded I/O ERROR.
