The C2N-II Datassete project
*************************************
http://pc23te.dte.uma.es/C2N-II/
The C2N-II Datassete
The C2N-II Datassete is a M.S. Thesis
of the student Pablo Toms Campos
Valladares in order to obtain the
grade of Telecommunications with the
speciality on Electronic Systems.
This project is directed by the
professor Francisco Javier Gonzlez
Caete in the University of Mlaga
(Spain).
The objective of this project is to
develop a hardware device in order to
replace the C2N Datassete of the
Commodore computers. This hardware
will be able to play the TAP image
format (this format is a dump of the
original cassettes). As this is a
digital format, no errors will occur
during the loading of the software
(as it can occur with the cassettes).
The TAP images will be stored in USB
Drives and the C2N-II will let you to
select the file and play it.
This hardware will be compatible with
the Commodore PET, VIC 20, C64 and
C128 models.
22 July 2009
The final boxed C2N-II has been
released. Some of the games that
previously did not work now do. The
firmware is going to be improved
because some games do not load
correctly.
Here you have a picture with the
final boxed version of the C2N-II.
8 July 2009
The first prototype has been released
and it has been tested for the first
time using a real Commodore 128. Some
minor bugs with the SENSE and MOTOR
signals were found and corrected. The
USB Drive is working fine. We obtain
the directory list and we can
navigate in the directory structure.
We tested 8 games with different
loaders and 4 loaded correctly and 4
did not load (50% of success). The
timings have to be improved in order
to get a 100% statistic.
Here you have a picture of the first
prototype with an USB Drive plugged.
