µIEC/SD Beginner’s Tutorial – Part 2

On the first article, I went through the installation and first steps using the uIEC/SD. Now that we have everything setup, we can try some new commands. First of all, to illustrate its use, let’s suppose we have a diskette (called SD Card) with the following structure: [sourcecode language=”CPP”] MYDISK.D64 UTILS <DIR> GAMES <DIR> [/sourcecode] If you have a file…

µIEC/SD Beginner's Tutorial – Part 1

Searching my favorite BBS for alternatives for the drive 1541, I’ve found a very interesting product. It is called µIEC/SD, and it is available at Retro Innovations (http://store.go4retro.com/products/uIEC_SD.html). Funny the fact this guy called the store “Retro”, because the device he’s selling is very advanced compared to the other hardware available in our 80’s. The hardware is a small electronic…

So it wasn't the best way to do it

Although I know there are C64 versions of the game, I decided to work on my own version, tweaking the way I want. First of all, I had to find…

Isn't it a good offer!?

I saw this advert in a Your Commodore magazine. Getting 50 games plus that amazing watch is an excellent deal!

Finally, it has arrived!

I’m very excited! Today, I received my Commodore 64C fully equipped with a 1702 monitor and a 1541 disk drive! I’ll be posting my findings and experiences about this amazing computer that everybody is talking about! Yes, the monitor and the disk drive is still the older models, but who cares! They work perfectly and actually look nice besides my VIC-2o:  …
