1541 Ultimate
1541 Ultimate (often abbreviated ''1541U'') is a peripheral, primarily an emulated floppy disk and ROM cartridge, cartridge emulator based on the Field-programmable gate array, FPGA Xilinx XC3S250E, for the Commodore 64 home computer. It became available in 2008. The unit is developed by Gideon Zweijtzer and is a cartridge that can emulate other cartridges such as the Commodore REU, Action Replay, The Final Cartridge III, Super Snapshot V5, Retro Replay or TurboAss with Commodore 64 software#Modern Day Development Tools, Codenet-support, and an almost fully compatible (including JiffyDOS support FPGA-cloned Commodore 1541 (including 1541, 1541C, and 1541 II models) floppy disk unit that can use Commodore 64-compatible files like Commodore 64 software#Retrocomputing efforts, .D64/.G64 disc images or .PRG files via a SD card reader. Additionally, the 1541 Ultimate is suitable for making archives of floppy disks. All units after the initial production have 32 megabytes of Random-access ...

Commodore 64 Disk / Tape Emulation
Commodore 64 disk/tape emulation and data transfer comprises hardware and software for Commodore 64 disk & tape emulation and for data transfer between either Commodore 64 (C64), Commodore (Commodore 1541, 1541) disk drive or Commodore (Commodore 1530, 1530 Datasette) tape deck and newer computers. There are a large variety of adapters for C64 disk/tape emulation and data transfer, and an even larger variety of compatible software. Many of the adapters interface with the original ''Commodore bus, serial bus'' disk drive plug or the ''Commodore Datasette, C2N'' tape. Others connect to either the ''user port'' or the cartridge ''expansion port'' using either standardized RS-232 interfaces or proprietary adapters. In combination with software (or firmware), the adapters can either fully support the original communication protocols, provide partial support or apply proprietary communication protocols. Different solutions allow for letting the C64 access programs stored on another compu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
