Some copy protected tape games (those sold under the "Microdeal" label
mainly in Europe) CLOADMed an ASCII titlescreen (ORGed to &H400), an
alternative tape loader (replacing the BASIC ROM routines), then
overloaded the BASIC error handler RAM hooks to jump to that loader in
case of an BASIC error and produced an I/O error by some irregular
"noise" on tape. After that the actual loading of the game started.
