C64/Vic20 File Browser for U1541

October 19th, 2008 1 comment

It was written with the U1541 user interface in mind, and I hope I have achieved the same ease of use.

Features:

  • Browsing much like the U1541 user interface.
  • It even handles more than 256 files per directory. (now I know why Gideon wants to postpone that feature)
  • Devices 8-11 are selectable.
  • Basic load address information (verrrry useful for VIC users)
  • ‘sys 320′ hook to reload browser (after a reset, or when it is overwritten by a file load)
  • Only 8 blocks.

1541 Ultimate: the first Batch-2 small issue

October 15th, 2008 No comments

Unfortunately, the first Batch-2 units shipped have a small issue. It turns out that the order of the cartridge ROMs flashed is faulty. Therefore, the Final Cartridge 3 and the Action Replay cartridges don’t work. You can fix this by applying the official V1.5 release that can be found in the download section. Of course, cartridges that are shipping from this moment on won’t have this issue.

The shipping has started! Remaining boards from batch 2 and 3 will arrive not long after. Please do NOT ask me when yours will be shipped. I don’t have time to answer that. Rest assured, that it will be as swift as possible!
