The ZoomFloppy has always been far too big for me. I had also started some projects in the past with the aim of bringing the whole thing down to a much smaller size.
Why leave out any external device at all and connect the floppy directly to the USB port?
Of course, this could just be an April Fool’s joke…
There are few programs for 80 column cards, and the CP/M cartridge makes no real sense without 80 characters. So what is more obvious than to combine both cards. And then to make the whole thing as big as possible, so that it fits into a cartridge case. So make everything smaller, pack it together and the “Double-80s” was born.
There are a good dozen 80 column expansions for the C64. But only very few of them work together with the CP/M module. The EX-80 Plus from MK Datentechnik is one of them. And this one I rebuilt under difficult conditions.
Meine in die Jahre gekommene VDSL100 Leitung konnte ich nun günstig in eine VDSL250 Leitung umwandeln.
Many PCB service providers also offer an assembly service, which sounds very attractive especially for SMD assembled boards. And I wanted to try this out myself for a long time…
