C64 Tape Port

[RobertB]

Fast do you think the C64 Cassette Port runs?

A C64 runs at 1 MHz.  The cassette port transfers at 50 bytes per second.

Was there ever a fast cassette for the C64?

If you are talking about fast loaders/savers for cassettes on the C64, yes.

...doesnt that mean it should be possible to record an 8bit 22khz sample via the tape port...

Oh, if you needed an audio digitizer, then those would go through the C64 user port.

Here is a compilation of Load Star...

Be aware that Fender Tucker's compilation only includes the Loadstars he worked on up to issue 199.  Dave Moorman took over publication of Loadstar issues 200 to 249 with an unofficial 250 release back in June, 2010.  None of issues 200 to 250 have been compiled into a collection.
