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.
