Code name : 'DC2N5-LC':
It's the last version (the fifth) of a standalone device designed by Luigi Di Fraia whose purpose is to make digital backups of Commodore tapes. It can also be used as a replacement for the Commodore Datassette 'CN2' allowing you to playback tape image files.The suffix 'LC' stands for 'low-cost' but don't get fool by it because it has nothing to envy to the other commercial devices.It features a connector for the datassette port , a slot for a microSD card, where tape image files can be stored, and a cardedge connector, where a Datassette can be connected, to allow tape content imaging.
As said, it can playback .TAP files (V0, V1 and V2 supported) but what makes this device so special is the .IDX file support that allows you to playback multiload/multiside games & programs (a counter and counter reset buttom have been implemented as well).For a complete overview of its features you can visit the site of the developer :
This is really a must for every Commodore nostalgic so, please, support the amazing work made by Luigi Di Fraia and grab a unit! (as I happily did...)
