SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family.

The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64. Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).

Changelog:

2010-06-21 – release 0.9.2

• Bugfix: Rename was broken on FAT.
• Turbodisk is now disabled when running on internal RC clock.
• Button debounce timeout increased.

After this update, the collection should contain 37,714 SID files!

Thanks to all the people who have helped to make HVSC the collection that it is today, without your help it would be a much tougher task.

This update features (all approximates):

• 1045 new SIDs.
• 897 fixed/better rips.
• 20 PlaySID/Sidplay1 specific SIDs eliminated.
• 133 repeats/bad rips eliminated.
• 1076 SID credit fixes.
• 81 SID model/clock infos.
• 23 tunes from /DEMOS/UNKNOWN/ identified.
• 10 tunes from /GAMES/ identified.
• 81 tunes moved out of /DEMOS/ to their composers’ directories.
• 11 tunes moved out of /GAMES/ to their composers’ directories.

Thanks to recompute33 for your donation.

Today i picked up a MS Pacman cartridges for Commodore 64 (Like new).

Autopsy:

For a new review see the italian version of this article.

from C64Scene Homepage: This project is interesting not only because it’s another mass-storage solution but because it combines already existing solutions to a new and fresh product. Damiano has always followed all the Commdore related websites and forums especially concerning the MMC and SD2IEC projects.

That’s when he got the idea to build a solution for which one doesn’t need soldering, wire cutting or the IEC cable. C64SD utilizes the Datasette connector to power the SD2IEC circuit. An IEC connector connects right into the IEC port.

The whole module stand vertical along the back of the C64 (or VIC20). The module is fitted with two rather large buttons, one reset and one diskswap/multi-function button.

SD-CARD Tested:

SANDISK SD-CARD 2GB = 100% WORKING.
CORSAIR SD-CARD 512MB = 100% WORKING.
