[Coco] High speed tape mod...?

[Aaron Wolfe]

Personally, I'd have taken a 1/2 or 1/4 speed interface if it could
promise my programs would save and load reliably.
I suffered some devastating losses in my early adolescent years due to
that blasted cassette interface.
To this day if I hear even a few seconds of audio from a csave I'm
likely to end up huddled in a corner, stuck in an infinite mental loop
of rewind, play, S, F, FM? or OD? or OM? and stop, pray, rewind, etc.
