Arcturax 🦇<p>Printed a case for my C64 SD2IEC+Epyx fastload</p><p>Case is kinda janky but I cleaned it up some and used a little super glue to get it fixed at edges. Works great! Really glad I have nice label sticker printer to make my own button labels!</p><p>I did have to remove and resolder the SD card board as it was on crooked and too low. Needed hakko + heat gun to get it free. Once back in fit in case properly. </p><p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/c64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>c64</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/SD2IEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SD2IEC</span></a></p>

ytm<p>Now I have finalized the TCBM2SD firmware. I managed to squeeze in read-only support for disk images (D64/D71/D81).</p><p>This pretty much completes what I wanted to achieve.

Statt eines Floppy-Drives (1541 etc.) wird mein Commodore C64 via SD-Karte seine Software bekomen.

Das Stichwort: SD2IEC

Auf "Faszination C64" bin ich via YT aufmerksam geworden. Dort zeigt er gerne Basteleien und Bausätze bzw. fertig von ihm produzierte Produkte, die man bei ihm auch bestellen kann. Eine tolle Sache für jemanden wie mich, der von Elektronik keine Ahnung hat.
