    Description

    Professionally Fabricated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for a DIY build of the very popular combo-cartridge, supporting both a
    Pi1541
    and
    an Epyx Fastloader catridge
    This is a tremendous value, with two
    super useful
    and well integrated content loading solutions, rolled into one!
    The Pi1541 Project
    enables you to use a Raspberry Pi Zero or Pi Zero-W to emulate a real Commodore disk drive, over your computer's IEC serial port.
    > The Pi supports a MicroSD card slot that will hold both the Pi1541 build and folders containing .D64 or .PRG files
    > An integrated set of tactile buttons and a nice OLED screen, enables you to conveniently navigate through the content on your SD card
    > Compatible with all Commodore 64 and 128 builds and versions

    The Epyx Fastload Cartridge
    has a
    long
    history of being one of the simplest and easy to use fast loading solutions, with a wide range of compatibility across most software titles.
    > Includes an integrated machine language monitor, which makes it easy to examine games, demos and other programs that have been loaded
    > Includes an integrated disk utility menu with convenient file and disk management tools
