Summary
     Looks like a standard cassette recorder, but plugs into the user port and gives up to 4 times load/save speed. Uses normal cassette tapes and is fully compatible with all existing software. Average 48K program loads in 75 seconds. Also includes a replacement ROM with faster load/save routines. It later became apparent that newer 'turbo-loader' software such as the older Ultimate titles, were not compatible. (Feb 85)
