When school got it's first IBM PC, it came with a cassette tape , it was
purchased direct from IBM (supposedly) and the tape was a Panasonic with a
sticker on the bottom that stated for service of the tape unit we should
contact the local IBM field office. it wasn't IBM branded... the cassette
cable cost more than the tape player at the time ~$75 for the player, and
~$150.00 for the cable
