As others have said, this is almost certainly due to lots of CAS files
not having full leaders - created when the existing emulators all trapped
calls to BITIN to feed data.
I work around this slightly in XRoar by inserting a sequence of fake
leader bytes each time the motor is switched on. It works for quite a
few, but it's still not perfect.
