The MC-10 does NOT have an ASCII save option nor the ability to re-tokenize
an ASCII file at load time.  The CoCo saves ASCII files to cassette using
"gap" mode so that during a load, it can stop the cassette player while it
tokenizes the incoming ASCII data.  The MC-10 has no motor control relay
and cannot stop the cassette player.  The ASCII and Gap mode flags in the
file header are ignored by the MC-10.
