Tapecart progif
About the Tapecart progif PCB
Tapecart progif is an open source PCB design by ikorb, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 41.5 × 56 mm, with 19 components from 14 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 74HC4053 and D5V0F4U6SO. By type, the board carries 7 resistors, 3 transistors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 diodes and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.
From the project
a tape port storage pod for the C64
The tapecart mass programmer can be used to flash the firmware of a newly-built tapecart and write data to its flash memory without requiring a C64. It is implemented as an addon board for a Raspberry Pi. Although in theory it should work with almost any version of the Raspberry Pi, it has only been tested with a Raspberry Pi 2.
The finished programmer (without cable) looks like this:
