Count me out of that 99%.
Add me to the list that ran across (and used) programs on audio cassette for HP,
DG and DEC minis. And to the list that had to reprogram a cassette after someone
accidentally pressed RECORD instead of PLAY while booting. On the front panel,
of course. 3 programs, 16K+ instructions each over 9 days... the panel 20inches
above the floor... (@_@)
I think I still have a "word processor" for the 5150 on disk that will not run
on anything but a 5150 with _one_ original IBM floppy, 64K, ROM BASIC, and the
original mono display. PCDOS1 only, of course.

You're being pedantic :-) I've never come across an IBM PC program on
cassette tape, and I'm betting 99% of the list hasn't either :) Could you elaborate? I've never found a
single program that will
work on, say, my 5150 but not my 5155 or 5160...
Including ROM BASIC that writes and reads cassette tapes?
