Got a new #C64 #SD2IEC 🤙
It is smaller than the old🤗
Even #KungFuFlash hosts most of my games, I need a place for my save games 🕹

Seasons Greetings from Commodore :’)

@xahmol I am currently using #SD2IEC and #Pi1541 devices, but both have shortcomings that have not been reported by UII+ users, especially when it comes to custom loader routines and disk (image) swapping.

Aside from that, there are so many cool features in this thing that I simply couldn't resist getting one anymore. I still think it's something for the "power-user", as sd2iec will probably serve 90% of people using real hardware well.

@xahmol @peter I simply unplug the cable connecting the internal 1571 with the mainboard. Easy to do as I'm the lucky owner of a plastic #C128D. In fact, I keep it unplugged and only use #SD2IEC or #Pi1541 devices with it. I'm nostalgic and #Retro - but my love for #FloppyDisks has vanished since proper #SDCard solutions became available.

So today I eventually found some time to patch my english GEOS 2.0 install to version 2.0r which enables support for the #NeoRAM expansion I purchased recently.

I set up a "RAM 1581" floppy disk drive and as you see in the video, can copy files to it. Nice, wish I had such a cool setup in 1987 ...

You can find the disks containing #NeoRam patched versions for GEOBOOT and CONFIGURE (to replace the ones of your otiginal 2.0 install) here, at the bottom of the page:

P.S.: I used my #uAX64MiniLong equipped with the neoRam expansion and an #SD2IEC drive along with an #EasyCap videograbber on my #Linux box to capture the video.

My favourite cartridge for the #c64, the #SuperSnapshot v5 is getting a lot of love recently. I replaced the EEPROM of one of the clones I built with a 128kB specimen and flashed Adrian Gonzales' SnappyROM. Now I can also use it with the #SD2IEC. I also updated my #KungFuFlash to the most recent firmware version which can also load the SnappyROM now. I heard rumors about the ROM for a few years and I am happy that it is finally available for everybody now. #retrocomputing

Hi, I made a video on how to modify SD2IEC devices (bare bone PCB type), so they can be used on commodore plus/4, c128 and c64.

How to change SD2IEC Device Number through software by using commodore basic commands. I wrote a small basic program to configure the device number on SD2IEC and you can keep it on an SD card in your SD2IEC device to be ready when needed.
