The cassette interface might've been a little fussy about what it'd work
work.  I started with a kinda crappy recorder (something that I think Dad
might've used to record lectures at college in the early- to mid-'70s)
because we already had it and it wasn't being used for anything else.  My
attempts to save and load programs with it didn't work...they'd never load
without erroring out.  Not too much later, we replaced it with a recorder
from Radio Shack (a close relative of the one they sold for use with their
TRS-80s), and that one worked like a champ.
