The CoCo (itself* is limited by the hardware. It can read from the 
tape, and it can write to the tape. It has no idea where on the tape 
it is. So you can't *alter* data on the tape except by re-writing the 
entire file.

The old Model I had *two* cassette ports, so it could read from one 
recorder and write to the other. The CoCo isn't set up that way.
