NOTE: if you can find the online store using the name youmakerobots
you'll find more options for this device like XL size screen and
cassette cable.
Description:
- BeeBuiTape is a digital device to replace a Tape cassette
needed by the BBC Micro or Acorn Electron computers.
- 3D printed case
- New design mostly using SMD components
- It allows you to load up games from an SD card stored in UEF
file format
- Please use something like UEF-Extractor to decompress the uef files first.
- It plugs directly into the same audio connector used by the
external tape deck, providing you have the cable type mentioned below
- This is a useful device since its tricky to maintain 30+ year-old tapes. Plus, you can put 100s of games on 1 SD card
- If you don't have your own cassette cable, best purchase from our online store www.youmakerobots.com
Before you buy a
cheaper device: I have noticed that some people are selling
Maxduino/TZXduino devices based on the ProjectAVR PCB. BE CAREFUL... My
device has a built-in AMP and a REMOTE socket needed for the proper game
load. ProjectAVR is missing these features.
Note:
- Remember its a 3D printed case, so don't expect product-level
quality. There maybe some marks on it for example and the
quality is lower than injection moulded plastic.
- Before considering a
different device, read this blog

- Uses the MaxDuino Firmware maintained by Rafael Molina Chasserot but will work with TZXduino too.
- You can use any USB power source it requires very little power
- If you are interested in multiple items, it would be worth looking at our website since shipping is calculated on weight.
- Visit our webpage for details about an XL screen version.
Please note that firmware also supports other (TO DATE) all maxduino supported file formats and can be used with other computers like ZX spectrum.
Options:
- 1) Acorn version with USB

USB cable
