I'm using high quality cassettes (Microsette brand) and I've cleaned and de-magnetized the tape heads with little or no improvement in performance. I didn't have this much trouble with my Sinclair ZX-81 using a standard audio cassette. Question: Could I possibly have problems with tape head azimuth alignment. What about problems in the tape drive path? Also, is there a standard reference tape available for checking tape head alignment? Any suggestions short of going back to the Sinclair would be greatly appreciated. Bill Stottlemyer
