Check R 21 and R 20 on the expansion board, the 
level is set there. To rise R 20 value to 1M or simply cut it away should do the 
trick.

  (tom) trigger output, it seems to have enough juice to drive the SDS6 even 
  though the voltages are theoretically wrong. The SDS6 sync inputs (tape and 
  trigger) are very fussy, I think they need a bit of current drive rather than 
  just a certain voltage level. Always reminded me of 80's computers with 
  cassette loading where you spent ages trying to get the level just right.
