Tandy Color Computer 3 - Page 38

Using
the
Cassette Recorder
If
you do
know
BASIC,
you
can
store programs
and
data on
cassette tape
instead
of
having
to
retype them every
time
you
start
up
the
computer.
With the
CCR-81
cassette
recorder, you can
transfer programs
and data from
tape
to
computer at
a
rate of 1500
baud (about
190
characters per second,
or
11,000
characters
per
minute). By using cassette
data storage,
in
a
matter
of minutes
you
can reload
programs into
memory instead of
typing
them
and
then
debugging
them, a process that can
take
hours.
Note:
Although
you
can
use
other recorders with the Color
Computer,
we
strongly
recommend that
you
use Tandy's
CCR-81 (26-1208).
The
overall operation of
the CCR-81
and
the following connections, adjustments,
and
settings are
thoroughly
tested
and documented
with
this
cassette
recorder but could vary
with
other
recorders.
