Color Computer 3 - Booting OS-9 Level II From Cassette

Why boot OS-9 Level II from a convenient medium, such as a floppy disk, CoCo SDC, Super IDE, or DriveWire, when you can boot it from the most finicky medium there is: cassette. I go through the process of CLOADM-ing OS-9 into my Tandy Color Computer 3 using my CCR-81 Computer Cassette Recorder, booting it, and using without disks! After it boots up, I go into a little detail about what I did to make this work. At 8:06, I mistakenly say I’m relocating the boot track from $2000 to $2600. This is incorrect. The boot track is moved from $E00 to $2600. Music: Sideways Samba (from the YouTube Audio Library)
