Speaking about the Cassette port.
I have used a Digicom 2 board plugged in the Cassette port for Amateur Radio packet long ago.

For those of you bringing your Commodores back to life. I would like to mention that I offer 3 different Commodore Boards for your pleasure. Come check out each one. There is a C64 BBS, C128 BBS and a Amiga BBS. One even has dial-up if you want to try your 1670 1200 baud modem over VoIP. Come check them all out!

Gary,
Nice to know about Your C= BBS'es.
The POTS Line is gone, learning hw 2 use this Android thingy now.
The first BBS that I joined was a C= BBS in Louisville, KY.
That was in 1984.
Ain't fired up the C=64 in years.
It watched Me as I used the 486, and the XP.
Since getting this thingy I don't have to be in the room where the C=64 can watch me.

A lot of people are knocking the dust off their C64s and getting back on-line with them. Using WiModems and UIED/SD cards as drives. Using CCGMS to call all the Commodore boards again.

2 years ago I lost internet service here, but I recall reading about the UIED card.
Made me drool.
I haven,t called the shop that can repair Commodore gear in ages.
Thought maybe I may get one of those cards so a SD Card could be used instead of Floppy Disks.
But that was years ago.

My C=64's back end has a Super Snapshot cartridge in the right, and a Omenitronics (?) RS-232 in the left sockets on the back.
(Not in the room to see how to correctly spell the Brand Name of the RS-232 adapter).



I probably would have to unplug one of those cartridges to use that UIED device.

Excuse the excessive quote text, don't know yet how to edit text from the on line connection yet ...

I can just picture how sad it was sitting there wanting it's user to play M.U.L.E. or GunShip on it.

The uIEC/SD goes in the cassette slot. So I am sure you can get one and use it with the hardware you are already using.

Gary,
Thanks for telling me the UIED card uses the Cassette port.
I will keep that idea on the ROUNDTUIT List.
