Upgraded Crystal Edition - Enhanced Commodore 64C

The SD2IEC is a mass storage device using an SD card and interfacing with the IEC bus of the C64. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family. The most prominent use of SD2IEC is replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64. It can load from SD cards .PRG and .C64 files.

Just Type LOAD"*",8,1  [RETURN]

Run [RETURN]

Or with JiffyDOS on, hit SHIFT & RUN/STOP

The Tapuino C64 is a full playback datassette emulator based around the Arduino Nano platform. It allows you to load from MicroSD .TAP files (exact copies of original C64 cassettes) in realtime.

JiffyDOS should be switched OFF to use.

For those not familiar with the Lumafix board, this is a board that attempts to minimize the amount of vertical banding that to some extent occurrs on most Commodore 64 computers when connected to a modern TV (C64C and other short boards seem to be affected the most).

This C64 is fitted with two SID Chips!

Pseudo-stereo (aka “simulated stereo:) — One of several different techniques for creating a two-channel output from a mono input, often utilizing processing for one channel and no processing on the other channel, including adding a slight delay to one side, adding chorus to one side, etc.

JiffyDOS is an enhanced DOS for the C64, SX-64, and C128 computers. The software is programmed onto ROM chips that replace the Kernal ROM chip on the motherboard and the DOS ROM chip in the disk drive.

JiffyDOS is intended to provide greater speed, commands and convenience than on stock systems. Being ROM-based, JiffyDOS is able to provide performance without the compatibility problems of cartridges and other speed-enhancement systems.

 

JiffyDOS Keyboard Shortcuts.

  F1 = LIST (RETURN)
  F2 = SYS$0 (JUMP TO MONITOR)
  F3 = RUN (RETURN)
  F4 = VERIFY (RETURN)
  F5 = LOAD"*:*",8,1 (RETURN)
  F6 = SAVE"@: (ADD PROG NAME AND RETURN)

  SHIFT & RUNSTOP = LOAD"*:*",8,1 (RETURN)*

This is a UK specification machine (PAL with 220v-240v that uses a 50hz PSU) So will work in most countries. Shipping to the USA and other countries that do not directly support PAL / 220v-240v will only come with very limited after-sales technical support / warranty. 

 

These machines/boards work in the USA when using a HD TV  with an appropriate video cable and power-supply (available separately).    If you have questions or concerns, please ask for advice.

 

See our PAL v NTSC & Power Supply page for more details.
