[Coco] Coco 3 with problems, can anyone help me troubleshoot?

[Arthur Flexser]

You might narrow down things by using the AUDIO ON command to see if
the tape sounds normal when it is saving and when you attempt to load
a program.

Also, make sure you aren't in the double speed mode;  the cassette
routines must be patched to work properly at that speed.

When you say it "just hangs", I assume you've verified that the tape
is advancing properly?  Do the MOTOR ON and MOTOR off commands
function?

Occasionally it would not boot right (I'd get a garbage screen) The real problem however is that once its working, I can save programs with csave to cassette, but when I try cload, I get an S on the upper left corner of the screen and then it just hangs.
