[Coco] ignoring tape errors

[John Guin]

This fellow wrote an app (Windows) that loads the cassette audio as a wav file and lets you edit it:

I haven't tried it myself, but it looks interesting.

But I also seem to remember a way to ignore IO errors - was there a parameter to pass along with CLOAD?

Bob, CTM (Color Tape Manager) is a great utility to have.  I used to use it a lot.  It can load bad tapes to memory, where they can be “fixed” if the damage is minor.  CTM was marketed by Color Computer Systems, and written by Rodger Smith, who also wrote Brewmaster, Flippy, and other great Coco programs.  There is companion program called CDM (Color Disk Manager).  Both utilities are awesome.

Hi all,

I'm trying to resurrect a bunch off cassette files, many of which give I/O errors.

I seem to recall a program/method of making the Coco ignore these errors so that the file can load and the bad file *may* be fixed. Does anyone remember this?

Regards, Bob Devries
