     Actually, someone at the local Shack pointed out the obvious to
me.  The CoCo, having so many interfaces in it's chain (Computer to
Multipak, Multipak to Controller, Controller to Cable, Cable to drive
Logic Board), probably was just mucking it up downstream.  After the
Hardware CRC.  If this is what you're suggesting.  It seems to be the
most likely answer.  In fact, there's an even less likely but still
considerable chance of it mucking up after loading due to spurious
signals.
                                          Cheers! -- Jim O.
