Autopsy:
Preview of the new Manosoft C64SD Infinity v2.0.
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 pass-through connector to power the SD2IEC circuit. An IEC pass-through connector connects right into the IEC port.
The whole module stand vertical along the back of the C64/128 (or VIC20). The module is fitted with two rather large buttons, one reset and one diskswap/multi-function button.
Remember: with a external power supply the C64SD works fine with Commodore 16/Plus4.
C64SD Infinity new Features:
- TAPE pass-through connector.
- Reset on User Port.
- CPU Type ATMEL ATmega 1284P(128k)
- SD Filesystem for firmware upgrade FAT16/32
- Standard Commodore 128 IEC Cable.
The interface can be purchased on the Manosoft site.

Personal note (PLA Compatibility): I have tested the EasyFlash cartridge with a Commodore 64 with installed a PLA replacement by Manosoft and it works Perfectly!
I bought mine fully assembled from Mike Betz via Lemon64 Forums.
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.

Program that detects type of your hardware in Commodore 128.
Also added recognizing CMD Hardware FD/HD/RAMLink/RAMDrive/JiffyDOS/SuperCPU/RR-Net/SD2IEC and a better detection of MMU and RAM size (SuperRAM), not works correctly in VICE.
The program is optimized for 80 columns mode.

EasyProg is a program for the C64/C128. It is used to write (“burn”) cartridge image files (*.crt) onto an EasyFlash.
Version 1.5.0 – 02.02.2011:
- Fast loader for 1541, 1581, sd2iec and uIEC and compatible drives.
- Some speed optimizations.
- EAPI code for all EasyFlash variants integrated.
- Minor UI improvements.
- Detailed error reports, e.g. when flash memory is write protected.

SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 or ATmega1284p 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:
2010-12-25 – release 0.10.1
- Bugfix: Remove remains of previous commands while parsing B-*
- Bugfix: Fix response of UI command for unknown suffix chars.
- Small improvement of JiffyDOS transfer speeds.

Manosoft has released a new version of his C64SD.
The Italian developer Damiano Colombari based the C64SD design on the already existing SD2IEC solution.
The major differences from the previous one are the aluminum box and a female IEC connector for connect external Floppy Drive or other devices.
