This looks illogical for me. If the tape is faster the sectors should be larger, am I wrong?

Just beware, there should be a small U shaped heatshield around the ULA on mdv1_ because it is too close to a capacitor on the main board.. mdv2_ also should have a small plastic washer around the back right screw to stop it from going through the QL case!

And when entering DIR MDV2_ the red LED illuminates normally but the motor does't start?
