still rockin my TRS-80 and C64 cassette drives.
Oh those times...
LOAD ZAXXON,8,1
<10mins waiting, enjoying sound of tape slowly moving>
LOAD ERROR
Afternoon spoiled.
oh man yup, C64 fun times.
the TRS-80s had 2 asterisks when loading from tape, one blinked whenever a <CR> was read. i remember building a filter for the cassette recorder i used. you kept fiddling with it till the 2nd asterisk blinked more or less regularly.
