[Coco] .CAS images and VCC

[Joef6809]

I'm simulating the gap although it seems not to really  need it. An emulated 
cassette tape doesn't have any inertia to overcome. Although I'm glad to 
hear that its probably not me. I guess I'll just get it stable ,release it 
and wait for someone to find something that doesn't work but should. Strange 
thing is when I look at the files that don't work in a hex editor they seem 
to have an extra block of junk right before the second 0x55 sync leader. It 
just seems to consistant to be a mistake. Unless there was a bug in a 
popular emulator that corupted these files in a similar way.

I think I read a while back that there are a lot of old CAS images that
don't contain the proper gap between blocks, so they don't work on the real
thing or on emulators that emulate the tape motor properly.

That might be your problem...
