IIRC, cassette I/O went via a software interrupt (INT 15????). The
routines in later BIOSes (XT, AT, etc) returned without doing anything,
bnt since all said BIOSes supported extension ROMs, I see no good reason
why you couldn't have a BIOS extension and a little hardware to add
cassette I/O to the later machines, if you were insane enough to want it.

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?
