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:
2009-09-27 – release 0.8.2
- Bugfix: Prevent random storage corruption on FAT32 media.
- Bugfix: Image files not mountable if read-only file or media.
- Bugfix: Do not clear error channel if sec. 15 is closed.
- Add a dummy RTC read during init (to update year if required).
- Enable I2C RTC support in LarsP configuration for Final Expansion 3.
- Acknowledge ATN during initialisation to stall C64 if required.

TMPview is a command line tool that converts your binary source code file saved from Turbo Assembler, Turbo Assembler Macro, and many variants including Turbo Macro Pro into an ASCII version of the code.
v1.1 brings some bug fixes, but the main new feature is translation of PETSCII in string literals into tok64/bastext compatible tokens. Therefore output from TMPview can now be fully re-assembled by… well, that is a story for another release…

The XU1541 is built from a modified version of the XU1541 firmware developed by Till Harbaum. It is a USB full speed device and supports high-speed parallel cables. The hardware USB support significantly speeds up transfers.
The XU1541 was originally developed by Till Harbaum and the project was abandoned. But its now still well alive, thanks to our resident engineer Jurek.

This is the second public version of ICU64. You can now experience the hacker’s view of the Commodore 64 with real-time view and edit of the C64 internals.
Note:
In this version ICU64 operates as a common debugger over the x64 process. This approach reduces the features that can be supported, in comparison to the Frodo Redpill version. But since it is slightly newer, it has some more functionality and some bugs are fixed. The notable addition is a simple ‘memory scanner’.
Requirements:
- A fast PC with Windows XP and .NET Framework 2.0
- The WinVICE 2.1 Emulator.

We have now fixed the issue and our application has been re-submitted for approval by Apple. We thank you all for your support and fingers crossed we hope to launch again over the next few days.

EasyFlash is a cartridge for the C64 expansion port. In contrast to traditional cartridges, this one can be programmed directly from the C64.
You can easily create various classic computer game cartridges, program collections or even a diagnostic cartridge to track down issues with your hardware with it.
All what you need to do this is a C64, an EasyFlash, the software available here and an image of the cartridge (*.crt). As these CRT files may be quite large, a large disk drive like the FD-2000 or an sd2iec may be useful.
EasyFlash is not a freezer cartridge like the Final Cartridge III or the Retro Replay. And it’s no replacement for a 1541 disk drive like the sd2iec.
