The Final Cartridge III

Autopsy:

from Wikipedia:

The Final Cartridge III was a popular extension cartridge which was created for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128, produced by Riska B.V. Home & Personal Computers. It offered a fast loader, increasing the speeds of the disk drive, and a freezer, allowing the program execution to be stopped to be resumed later.

    The FC3 is my favourite Cartridge on the C64. I love this piece and now i have three of it. Very compatible Fastloader, very good monitor, good freezer and good F-key-commands. Another plus is the compatibility of the FC3-fastloader to many SD2IEC-filebrowsers, which makes the FC3 good to use with a SD2IEC together!

    Yep, the FC3 (Final Cartridge 3) and the AR6 (Action Replay) were the two best cartridges back in time. Some things i like more on the AR6, other things on the FC3. I heard that some years ago a cartridge, which is a combination of both was made public, called “Final Replay”, but none of my friends had one of these.

    Hi, I run a small retro channel at http://youtube.com/perifractic and would love to feature 1 or 2 of your photos from this page and credit you with a thank you link in the description. They seem to be marked on Google Images as public domain.

    Whilst I have no doubt you’d be agreeable, I always like to let people know in advance. But of course if you’d rather I didn’t, please do not hesitate to say so :)

    Thanks so much for your contribution to the retrocomputing community.

    Your friend in retro,
    Perifractic
