Right, and it could be good to check a pulse width histogram display to 
see where it is best to set the thresholds for the 3 different pulse 
widths. You can do this on a *.tap file.

The C2N232 connects directly to the digital read/write lines on the 
cassette port. When I worked on the tape routines, I typed SAVE and was 
a bit surprised to see how much the pulse widths varied. The C2N232 will 
hopefully generate cleaner frequencies.

I also wrote a PCM output option for my "c2n" program and tested it by 
recording the audio to a cassette and loading it with a 1530.

One more thing that I seem to remember doing is that I connected the 
C2N232 to the digital lines from a 1530 to sample the tapes.
