>> Back then, using audio tapes to hold data was revolutionary, in terms of storage space and price. > Those aren't ordinary cassettes Years earlier, my Color Computer (from that other leather company, Tandy) was reading and writing to ordinary cassettes (also sold by Radio Shack). The folks I knew who could afford Apple IIs had the cash to spend on floppy drives but I think their computers supported cassettes. I had friends in pre-Adam days who had Commodores and one with a TI-99, all of which had plain old cassette storage, too. In the 70s-80s that was slow but affordable. This was anything but revolutionary for the Adam.
