This is a „Tapuino Micro“ running as tape drive on my #cbm3016
I now can put .tap files on a micro-SDcard an load them into this 8 bit computer from 1979!

A few updates to the hardware project thingy.

Renamed as "Optical Data Channel..." because although vaguely amusing, "JellyLoad" isn't a terribly helpful title.

Also applied MIT open source license, free and easy do-what-you-like-pal whilst absolving me of any liability if you attempt to use the data and end up destroying the universe or something similarly daft.

Simulation and prototypes successful, however I currently lack the resources for experimentation beyond this stage, so I'm casting the design out into the open for any and all enthusiasts to pick up and play with.

Feel free to let me know how you get on with it.

Attention #commodore #retrocomputing folks!

I found a CBM-II keyboard and a CBM610 (w/o PCB) in my attic (yes, I should go up and dig more often, I suppose 😉 ).

I wonder whether there's a turnkey solution out there to connect it to a PC (using USB). I am aware of Jens Schoenfeld's (iComp) "Keyrah v3". But have the strong feeling I am missing some essential point.

I won't be watching "The Continental" but those that do, look out for the CBM PET #retrocomputer porn that appears.

Core. Sexy.

That was a long stressful work day. Please post retro computing porn. Sci-fi / anime computing imagery also welcome.

Here is the gorgeous Commodore Pet.
