Is the Amstrad cassette format digital or analog? Put another way, did you cry, groan, moan, and curse at failed loads as much as your Spectrum friends?

Probably analog because Alan Sugar so it was built on the cheap, but it was also an integrated cassette drive so I didn't get the full experience of having to worry about volume controls.
I also got a floppy drive (3 inch, instead of 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch again because Alan Sugar) after 12 months and it was a game changer in terms of productivity, but most of the games were still on cassette.
