It's a adapter that plugs into your tape port in the c64 and you can run c64 roms off a sd card. Have one on order from http://jderogee.tripod.com/project1541.htm
The guy that created it is Jan Derogee,his a real nice guy and always answers questions. this Dutch man is a genius!!!

Yeah, theres no problem with posting links like that, anything retro game related is fine (we'll basically you can post a link to anything as long as it's not * or * etc...)

maybe you could put it in the nintendo or megadrive forums?

Unfortunately JENS has no immediate plans for making any more in the near future and Protovision are only agents they dont actually make any hardware according to MacGuyver even though I know for a fact that Doc of Desire makes up PSU and X*1541 cables for them. Which means that Ike is a very fortunate person to be getting one as he is one of the current few........(possibly last??)

I hope Jens will make up some more as this is one of the few out of many add-ons for the C64 today that I would even be willing to buy, and I have a firm beleif of getting things for free (ie.Hand me downs... Very Happy thnx)

No its not the joystick device, you are thinking of the C64DTV which was the C64 chip inside a joystick with 20-30 games already installed and ready to be plugged into your TV heres a link for that below for that one

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C64_Direct-to-TV

What I was refering to is much the same of what you were trying to get hold of, its a cart with an SD card which allows for easy transference of C64 prgs between C64 and PC, it eliminates the need to use a cable that physically joins a 1541 to a PC. Wink

Ive asked Brad if it would be possible for him to make a few up, I would buy 2 at least as it would make it so easy to download a game from the net and be actually playing it on my C64 (the real one with my fave joystick-something I dont have on my PC) in a matter of minutes without having to run 2 different transfer/converter programs on 2 different machines, it makes it hassle free .

How many would you buy? Bearing in mind that the 2 from Eroupe are both around 50 erous each plus postage whereas if Brad could could make them up with something comprable in the area of price ,the o/s postage is eliminated straight away it makes it cheap, and who knows if news got around some of the Erou boys would be buying them also.......... Smile i wish I wish I wish I wish Laughing

Brad I realise that these last few weeks up to X-Mas are busy ones for you but if you could look further into the SD card for C64 project, maybe in the holidays, it would be really appreciated, and as I mentioned before you would have little trouble in selling them as they are in demand and mighty useful as well Smile
