Questa demo mi ha emozionato molto. La musica che accompagna la demo è probabilmente una delle migliori che io abbia mai sentito in vita mia.

- Realtime statistics on file copy and disk image operations.
Changes:

Known Issues:
- (VIC 20) Many of the keyboard shortcuts on the left side of the keyboard do not work under VICE. After speaking with members of the VICE team they are pretty sure this is a problem in the GETIN kernel routine which is used by cc65. I would greatly appreciate it if someone with a real VIC can verify that the keys do not work on real hardware before I bring the problem up in the cc65 forums.
- (Plus 4) Viewing a text file crashes the program.

Nuovi giochi per Commodore 64.

Autopsy:
Salve a tutti, faccio una breve recensione di questa nuova e interessante interfaccia per Commodore 64/VIC20 di Manosoft (Damiano).
Questa interfaccia utilizza il firmware SD2IEC di Shadowolf ma l’idea geniale di Damiano e’ stata quella di auto-alimentare l’interfaccia tramite la presa del registratore a cassette e di inserire un DIN maschio da stampato che si inserisce perfettamente nella porta Floppy del nostro Commodore, guardate le foto che parlano da sole ;-D
Le mie prime impressioni?
Il circuito stampato e’ di ottima costruzione, elegante e funzionale, la barra di metallo fissata sul retro serve da maniglia per l’inserimento dell’interfaccia senza schiacciare la componentistica, facilmente raggiungibile anche lo switch per scegliere il device del Floppy Drive e il ponticello per scegliere se alimentare l’interfaccia tramite connettore del registratore a cassette oppure esternamente.
Molto carini anche i due pulsantini di Reset e Cambio Disco che fanno capolino dal retro del Commodore.
Insomma, un’ottimo prodotto ad un prezzo veramente competitivo.
SD-CARD Tested:
SANDISK SD-CARD 2GB = 100% WORKING.
CORSAIR SD-CARD 512MB = 100% WORKING.

testo tratto dalla Homepage 1541 Ultimate:
il software per l’interfaccia Ultimate 1541 II è stato completato. Nelle ultime due settimane ho fatto molti progressi implementando tutte queste features:
- USB is now working stable, including insertion and removal. (My external 500 GB harddisk was detected flawlessly!)
- Support for USB devices with multiple LUNs (like card readers)
- GCR (G64) supported added, including write (the Ultimate-I couldn’t do this)
- T64 file support re-integrated.
- Tape support, using TAP files (I needed to test the hardware anyway!)
- Comprehensible menus.
- Real time clock functional (still need a clock widget…)
- I made a wooden mould, to simplify closing the plastic cases without damaging them.
Penso di riuscire spedire le prime 40~50 interfacce il prossimo Mercoledì! Le rimanenti interfacce saranno spedite al più presto! Grazie per la vostra pazienza!

Changes:
- Fixed bug where you could move to an unopened panel.
- Fixed bug where you could not abort a rename by leaving the name blank and hitting return.
