The original TRS-80 cassette interface was often a WORHE (Write Once, Read
Hardly Ever). It was not acceptably reliable.
It was the only casette interface. There was a mod for the Level-II
that greatly improved read reliability. Level-1 machine used half
the data rate and were decent. Myself I modded one trs-80 I have
by removing most of the casette input opamp crap, it worked
notably better!
