back on topic though, what cassette unit could be

the C64's only accept Commodore tape decks), or could anything be used
if a cable was made up?
A Radio Shack CTR-41 with a standard TRS-80 cassette cable. IBM never
got into the audio business. (There were other cassette decks that
worked, but that was the cable -- after all these years I've forgotten
the stock number but it is still in the inventory though a particular
store might have to make a special order).

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
