Cassette speed?
In the Cassette section it states:

"TRS-80s with Level I BASIC read and wrote tapes at 250 bits per second (25 bytes per second); Level II BASIC doubled this to 500 bits per second (50 bytes per second)."

Since when does 250 bits equal 25 bytes? Unless I'm confused in thinking they were 8 bits to a byte, this seems wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.205.154.12 (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Start and stop bits, with fixed values, add two more "bits worth" to the eight, very similarly to RS-232. -- Ch&#39;marr (talk) 02:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
