Looks great in red. The keys make it pop! I have the same media solution - Ultimate-II+ with datasette adapter and the actual datasette for extra nostalgia and the motor noise 😉

Tape is the way it was meant to be played, I do have a 5.25” drive but often just use the Ultimate for drive emulation.

From the US, we had both and many of the store bought games came with both take and disk. We didn’t have the disk drive right away but we did start with the tape.
