If he had tapped the Eject button it would have been OK, because the machine 
would write the current page, then rewind, then update both copies of the 
tape side's table of contents page.

Ron, at one time I had one of those.  Wow, that original VersaBraille brings
back memories.  There was a cheat-sheet of commands in Braille attached to
the inside of the cover as I recall.

If you listen to those tapes, it sounds similar to the old modem data noises
with a special burst between pages.

I had one when I started working at Kaiser Aluminum in 1980.  I was
designated notetaker in a meeting one day, and my boss came by where I was
sitting and pressed the Eject button on the left corner of the  unit.  That
is not the way to exit and save a file, all it does is rewind the cassette
to the beginning without writing the file information to the table of
contents.  So, we lost all the notes to the meeting and he never messed with
my techy devices again.
