C64 Tape Port

[trekiej]

Fast do you think the C64 Cassette Port runs?
1\8 * 1 or 2 MHZ = 128k or 256 k.

Was there ever a fast cassette for the C64?

If my maths is right - doesnt that mean it should be possible to record an 8bit 22khz sample via the tape port - with some headroom?

That is kind of what I am thinking.

How about a tape port to tape port transfer? Has this been done?
The cart port I guess would go at a speed of 8/8 * 1 mhz = 1 MB/sec. theoretical.
I did see a video of the introduction to "Dallas" played from a REU.

Has anyone here used a 64hdd ( http://www.64hdd.com )before?
If so, how did you like it?

Here is an interesting link.

If I remember correctly there is a location in ram that the REU constantly look at to check for commands, data, etc.
