And before A: and B:, we had cassette tape decks for our Commodores!
It took 40 minutes to load a program.
You don't know what a cassette or a Commodore is, do you? Damn kids, get off my lawn
LOAD "*",1,1
LOAD "*",8,1 if you had a fancy 1541
To this day, the most advanced floppy drive ever made.
I remember having to bang on it to realign the heads
I had a cassette drive for my CoCo3 from RadioShack.
I spent a weekend typing in code in BASIC from a magazine to play a shitty pacman clone, tried to save it to the tape, and forgot the first few inches on a new cassette aren't magnetic and can't save anything...
But have you seen Sonic the Hedgehog run at 60 FPS on a C64 though the magic of the REU's DMA? PRAISE BE THE FORGOTTEN!
Yes pretty much everyone alive knows what a cassette is. They might not know what a Commodore is specifically
I think a lot of people who know what a cassette is would be surprised by one that holds computer files.
