Hmph! I could _never_ get my stuff to load off of tape correctly the
first time around :-) I even marked the volume knob on my tape
recorder, but I always ended up having to fiddle with it anyways :)

Alas, my II+ is dead, but when the same thing happened to me on my GS
with a whole 512K of memory, I moved $800-$6000 or so to bank 2, along
with the end of program pointer (af.b0? it's been a while :),
rebooted, moved everything back to bank 0 and saved :-)

I don't really miss the cassette ports :)
