NOTE: you will always find items cheaper on my website
It is used to play CAS files (games and apps) from a MicroSD card
through an audio cable into where the tape deck would normally plugin
thus eliminating the need for a 40-year-old tape deck. It's a play-only
function so no record feature. You can still record using conventional
methods though. Simply find your favourite game or app in CAS file
format, copy it to the sd card and the rest is straightforward. It was
designed for Dragon32 or 64 computers. It's based on Maxduino firmware.
Visit our webpage for details about an XL screen version.
When purchasing a microSD card do not get a cheap or a
super-fast one like a class 10 card. Look for a class 4, 6, or 8. You
will need a data cassette cable. You can purchase these from our online or
from Cool Novelties. It
requires a MINI-A USB power source.
Please note that firmware also supports other (TO DATE) all maxduino supported file formats and can be used with other computers like ZX spectrum.
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.
