I took advantage of the cleaning of one of my Drean Commodore 64C to try the Cute 32 (CBM Universal Tape Emulator) also with this version of the C64, i have nothing else to say except that it works perfectly.
The output video is in black and white because the DREAN is made in Argentina and uses the PAL-N standard.

- So it will work with basic and kernal based prg’s, so it doesn’t work everywhere.

- + Import and export function to save and share your purist palettes.

- REU load / save commands from UCI, using the preload settings.
- File append mode for Software IEC.

- Issue #121: 1541C ROM seemed faulty. Track 0 sensor reconnected.
- Issue #119: Fixed network host name illegal chars.
- Issue #127: Fix for Epyx Fastload at boot U64 (consider DMA to stop discharging the cap.)
- Fix for KCS cart at boot of U64.
- Fixed DMA load delay, to let 1541 initialize before running PRG.
- Fixed 1541 address decoding (RAMBOard was faulty!)
- Fixed Closing telnet connection caused U64/U2+ to freeze.
- Stability issues fixed in configuration manager.
- Corrected NMI / IRQ routing for internal cart. (U64)

Planned work for the upcoming release:
- CPU Speedup.
- Keystrokes to quickly enable / mute audio channels.
- A sample project for the ESP32, which can be used for others to port stuff like modem emulation.
