Description
Professionally Fabricated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for a DIY build of the very popular combo-cartridge, supporting both aPi1541
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
