Hmmm, if the Border did not change, this means that the Amplifier of tape deck is death, or the ULA in Spectrum did not recieve any signals.

You don't.
You change the border colour at precise time intervals. It takes a fixed amount of time to draw portions of the border, just as it does with the screen.

There was a very simple basic program in the Dutch manual which did this trick. It displayed the dutch and german flag (if I remember correctly) in the border.
