Yup, 8-track tapes. Take a look at
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=560. I never had
that version, mine had the 5.25" floppy, which stored a whopping 51.2K,
if memory serves.
Another fun quirk about the CCII was the fact that the circuit boards
were mounted into an unshielded plastic TV case, making it a very
effective public nuisance. My parents always knew when I was using the
thing because our living room TV's picture would get all sorts of
interference on it when the CCII was powered on! (They were annoyed a LOT)
