I was curious if anyone has ever customized a newer way to change 
banks on the MK II which doesn't use a tone tape...perhaps there's a 
better,more reliable way to do this digitally?

Why do you want to do this? It works pretty well unless you have a 
weak pulse - in which case Martin can provide a stronger pulse 
tape - and if it misses going one way it usually gets it on the way 
back. I think whatever system you come up with it will involve tape 
moving past a head of some sort. Actually the optical tape-stop 
sensor on my Revox B77 does work annoying well - picking up 
every bad splice it sees! If you're looking for a new system - there 
you go!
