It works quite well, and is in fact the only recorder I've been able to make work with it, out of a handful of cassette and digital recorders. I suspect it's got something to do with either the strong line-level output of this recorder, or mono vs. stereo jacks.

I used a similar recorder in the UK, the WH Smith CCR800 Computer Compatible Cassette Recorder. It had a switch for "normal" and "compute mode", which fiddled with the levels. However, I didn't get that until 1982 when bought a ZX Spectrum, so I must have been using the family's regular old cassette recorder before then. (It must have been around 1980 when I bought the FX-502P and FA-1.)

I just registered on this forum to point out that I just saw this exact model (WH Smith CCR800) on a Netflix TV program. I was trying to find out what the Normal/Compute Mode selector was for, and here we are. 10m30s into The Gentlemen S1E4 if you're interested :-)
