EasyFlash is a cartridge for the C64 expansion port. In contrast to traditional cartridges, this one can be programmed directly from the C64.
You can easily create various classic computer game cartridges, program collections or even a diagnostic cartridge to track down issues with your hardware with it.
All what you need to do this is a C64, an EasyFlash, the software available here and an image of the cartridge (*.crt). As these CRT files may be quite large, a large disk drive like the FD-2000 or an sd2iec may be useful.
EasyFlash is not a freezer cartridge like the Final Cartridge III or the Retro Replay. And it’s no replacement for a 1541 disk drive like the sd2iec.

Aries was backordered on the required 24 and 28 pin headers needed to finish testing, and the order just came in this past week. Thus, I finally had a chance to solder and test the units. Testing went well, and I can program the units with my Willem programmer.
Originally designed to hold a 29EE512 64kB EEPROM, I found a good price on Atmel AT49F001 128kB 5V Flash, so I made the necessary adjustments and tested with the new memory. Testing went well, so I am releasing the design to production.
I have noticed one issue that I need to address. Some CBM units have an RFI shield that doubles as a heat shield. To perform the latter function, metal “fingers are stamped out of the shield that press on the top of the ICs. I need to ensure the metal shield/heat sink does not contact any of the pins on this unit.

After this update, the collection should contain 36,939 SID files!
Thanks to all the people who have helped to make HVSC the collection that it is today, without your help it would be a much tougher task.
This update features (all approximates):
- 953 new SIDs.
- 93 fixed/better rips.
- 6 PlaySID/Sidplay1 specific SIDs eliminated.
- 14 repeats/bad rips eliminated.
- 320 SID credit fixes.
- 159 SID model/clock infos.
- 8 tunes from /DEMOS/UNKNOWN/ identified.
- 6 tunes from /GAMES/ identified.
- 38 tunes moved out of /DEMOS/ to their composers’ directories.
- 14 tunes moved out of /GAMES/ to their composers’ directories.

The PCB house shipped the first two ROM-el boards for inspection and testing.
Once they are assembled and testing, I will release the design to production. As one can see, the PCB is a merged set of 4 designs. The tabs between the designs are designed to be broken, separating the individual units after assembly.

This Multiple Classic Computer Platform lets dreams come true.
The Classic Computer and Classic Arcade fans are just waiting for a device which allows them to go back to the good and easy operation and gaming experience from the past.
Many people still have unique software and programs which are still unbeatable when it comes to user friendliness. The reconfigurable and generic design will allow an easy switch between multiple different realizations and representations of classic computers.
When we look to the 80ies and 90ies, names like Atari ST, Sinclair’s ZX-Spectrum, Commodores VC20, VC-64 and the whole Amiga Series 500, 1000, 2000 come to mind.
main Features:
- Old Joystick interfaces allow the usage of classic input devices.
- A stereo/audio output allows the connection to each TV set, amplifier or computer monitor to explore enhanced sound.
- Different versions for PAL and NTSC regions allow seamless usage and compatibility.
- All this paired with the newest available hardware and new interface, like SD-Card, S-Video and RGB Output, improve the picture quality and the openness of the systems.
- An internal memory enables the permanent storage of favorite games and applications, the menu overlay allows for easy selection of the application or game and the desired Classic Computer.

from 1541 Ultimate homepage:
Some of you might have noticed that the order form has been temporarily closed, and many questions and rumours have been going around about the future of the 1541 Ultimate. The reason behind all this, is that behind the screens I have been working on a successor of the “1541 Ultimate”. How this unit will be called has not yet been determined, but it could be something as simple as “1541 Ultimate II” or “Ultimate Cartridge”.
What is it, and why was it designed? Basically, it is a scaled down version of the 1541U. It will provide similar functionality, although some things have been changed. It will no longer support full-size SD-cards, but only MircoSD, or “Transflash”. Also, Ethernet will not be supported until further notice. It will support tape emulation out of the box (without the need for special FPGA images) and it will provide a real-time clock function with battery back up. Audio output has been significantly improved, which might seem useless for just the drive sounds, but this enables the creation of FPGA images that provide additional sound channels of useful quality. The power consumption has been reduced as well. There is one extra cool feature that will not yet be disclosed ;-)
And last but not least… This unit will come with a case! At least, that is the plan; there are some negociations going on with manufacturers for plastic insertion moulding. It seems feasible to have this done, although it’s pricy for low quantities. A prototype is 3D-printed this week; the prototype board is already there and functional.
