Hi Bill,
You can also make your own cable, see for instance:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/coco/text/cassette.html

For loading programs from tape you only need to hook up the (black)
"ear" jack, to pin 2 and 4 on the Coco socket. If you can't find a
5-pin DIN connector, two stubs of thick wire (e.g. paper clip) will
fit quite nicely into the socket. A mono or stereo headphone jack will
do in the other end.

Regards,
Tormod
