JBMCVI Prototype Continues 2016-03-10 Development of the MIDI to CV/GATE interface continues. We are currently working on making a pretty front panel as well as finishing up on the firmware side. Read More Prototype Development 2015-01-22 Development of the MIDI to CV/GATE module has been continued. Final touches on the soldering side is going on and a prototype front panel has been developed and ordered. Stay tuned for more information and prototype photos and examples. Read More Prototype Boards 2014-05-20 Just received some prototype boards for an updated version of the C64 disk drive emulator unit. Components are on the way as well. Another purpose of the prototype boards was to check out a new manufacturer, and the quality was found to be very good, especially considering the price. The JBMCVI module may therefore see its first small batch run. Read More Graphical Profile 2014-03-15 Have been working a bit on the new graphical profile. Hope you like it. Read More Module Graphics 2013-07-10 The main images for the modules has been changed to an ISO view standard. Read More Pre Order System 2013-07-07 A pre order system has been designed to deal with allocation of interest for module manufacture. Stay tuned for the release date! Read More Entryline Modules 2013-07-03 Some of the Baseline modules has been converted to the new Entryline module range. Some modules were found to be too simplistic for the Baseline range. The prices has also been adjusted, and the idea is that all Entryline modules should be available as DIY kits as well. Read More General Work 2013-07-02 The way products are listed and displayed has been radically changed and should now be very consistent through the complete website. Read More Modules Update 2013-02-17 An update has been performed displaying all current module developments up to date. Read More BreadStrip 2013-09-12 A new product has been starting to take shape, called BreadStrip. Check it out now! It will be released as a Beta version (Pre-Lite) arount 30th of December this year. Stay tuned for updates! Read More

C64 Diskette Drive with USB Support
Description
The C64Disk is an emulation of a C64 diskette station, with support for USB flash memory sticks. Any FAT formatted USB memory stick that
contains any number of .d64 files can be connected to the drive, and the C64Disk will load the selected disk to an internal memory.
The C64Disk flash drive emulates as much of a true disk as possible, all data sectors and internal firmware. When a disk file has been burned to
the internal memory, the USB memory stick can be removed and the C64Disk will work as stand-alone. One button can be used to load the next disk
in order on the USB memory stick, should be great for games requiring several disks, just hit the button when requested to change disk.
Features
- USB memory stick support for multiple disk images
- Internal storage memory for stand-alone operation
- Can store disks written from the C64 to USB memory and internal storage
- IEC bus debug and test support
- IEC bus communication data logging
- Over-voltage protected IEC data inputs
- Operates from 4.5V to 6V, 5V nominal
- Planned power adapter to the C64 tape connector
To control communication, the drive will work as a state machine. Something like this.
