Well I hope they get the Compactflash finished. Beside USB sticks that's the only type of flash card I have. And what's taking so long any ways, Mr. Atari got a Compactflash working for Ben.

C64 Compact Flash adapter

Post by huns80 »

An adapter to make a compact flash card appear to be a 1541 to the C64 was done years ago. Here's a link:

I'd like to clean up this design, though, since I think it could be done without the external RAM and use a newer version of the AVR microcontroller (along with a newer version of the compiler).

DTV + Compact Flash/SDCard would make for one tiny system (and light weight!).

Wish I had the means to get the chips and the PCB for that, really I'd jump on that in a heart beat. I don't supose that you'd sell one, would you?

And just a quick yes/no question; I read there are limitations, are do they effect the game files (saving and loading) or BASIC scriping (writing, saving and running) at all?

Thank you for bring this to our attention.
