I have a lot of the kid's computers, (Atari,
Commodore, CoCo, etc), which
I am trying to keep alive. Does anyone know if I can substitute high
quality music tapes in place of computer tapes? Or where I can still
find computer cassette tapes for sale?

Back in the early 80's I didn't even use high quality music tapes, instead
I used the cheapest cassette tapes I could find. Never had any problem,
except for tape wastage since I'd only use about the first five minutes of
the tape. It was easiest to try to limit it to one program per tape.
The only problem along these lines that I experienced was a tape that
someone copied on a home stereo system. Part of the time it would load,
part of the time it wouldn't.
BTW, the computer I used was a Commodore VIC-20 with the original Cassette
Deck.
