RickR Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 SD2IEC is the name of the one I have. Let me know if you decide to get one...as there is an image I can give you that will make it load a "fastloader" that actually works with no need for a cartridge.

RickR Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 It will fit any C64. It plugs into the disk drive socket, and then has a separate plug for power. It works on VIC-20 and C128 too. Like I said, if you get one...I can hook you up with an image that has the fastloader and my favorite ROM files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedplayarcade Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 wow man awesome thanks! I better go see if my c64 in the photo above still powers up. for now it is in my gaming closet and will be transferred when i finish my office. I just want to bring clients in and show them the c64 to show them what i'll be editing their video on lol It will fit any C64. It plugs into the disk drive socket, and then has a separate plug for power. It works on VIC-20 and C128 too.

RickR Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Can you explain what your AV cable out of the C64 looks like? Is it a single wire? Or is it the Yellow/White/Red composite setup? There's a few different ways you can hook it up, so I need to know what your cable looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extendedplayarcade Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just double making sure that that cable is what i'll need? It is all coming clear to me now but this cable didn't make it through the 6 hour changes and moves =) BrentExtended Play Arcadehttps://www.youtube.com/user/extendedplayarcade Sub 4 Sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ah yes....I didn't understand you were missing that cable. I have a homemade one for sale/trade if you are interested. I can beat that ebay price for sure. As a temporary solution, you can just use a standard RF cable that goes into a screw-in antenna RF adapter. If you have no idea what I'm talking about...just go ahead and get a cable as you've linked above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximumRD Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I wish they made something like that for Atari 8-Bit computers Might wanna look into Atarimax products. I have flashcarts for Atari5200 and ColecoVision by them though I know nothing of this particular product I have seen people praise them. http://www.atarimax.com/myide/documentation/ I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

RickR Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I wish they made something like that for Atari 8-Bit computers There are a lot more options, with better prices for the Atari computers. Also much easier to use. Just do a Google search for "SIO2USB", "SIO2SD", "SIO2PC". I use an SIO2PC cable, which is a very inexpensive option. The idea here is that a PC can be used as a hard drive for the Atari. I use an old junky laptop running Windows XP. On the PC, you run software in which you pick the disk image to load. Then you boot the Atari and it loads it...as if it were a real floppy drive. I should probably do up a blog post about how this works if people are interested.

extendedplayarcade Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have yet to order the cable yet... I will... I been upgrading my rig for the new upcoming editing season. I'd love to get one of those c64 shell builds i've seen and build an editing computer out of that just to see the look on my clients faces lol Have a great day everyone!
