Slothie has just made me realise that as I have two working MK14s I could type the software TTAPE routines into one of them and muck about with the 'soft' timing values on that to send logic-level tape data directly to the other MK14 at different data rates - that's if the logic levels are the same polarity in both directions (I have not checked).

However, that would involve climbing into the loft to get my real MK14, and I don't really want to spoil all the fun which Slothie is obviously having with this.
