Not so much inhibit, but make it less useable. I understood the idea as:
instead of plugging your home computer into a tape deck, how about a CD
player? Surely just the lead will be different? In which case, let's
archive all those tapes at a dozen C10 tapes to a CD...

With the PET and VIC families, it's not just a different lead, it's an
(admittedly llittle) circuit...
