I haven't used mtap, but I have one question: does it have a special option for plus/4 tapes? I ask this, because the plus/4 uses considerably lower frequencies than other Commodores. I think that there's also a slight difference in the pulse streams; see the source code of c2n (the driver software for my RS-232-driven datasette emulator C2N232). The -2
option selects plus/4 timings.
