I would think it would be trivial to hook up a stereo to
computers, and thus load both data and programs.
Yes - been there. It is highly recommended, especially if you can
read the program/data from a cassette, and then make a fresh new
'write' from the computer, as if you were going to make another
cassette, but to the CD-R audio input - as opposed to simply
copying the audio from the cassette directy to CD with all the
tape hiss, drop outs & speed fluctuations. I've found fresh
new 'tapeless' audio recordings to be very useable and reliable.
