is it compatible with the commodore vic 20.
ReplyDeleteA user who purchased one is testing this on a VIC 20 and hopefully will have some more news shortly.
ReplyDeleteHere is a recent review -

Yes it works on the VIC 20
ReplyDelete1. Does it allow recording?
ReplyDelete2. Does it allow tape motor control (via REM plug)?
It does not allow recording, it is a player only and I do not know what the REM plug is.
DeleteI was having trouble loading some cassettes with a number of different 1530 Decks, the cassettes were sticking. I had modded a 1530 to accept an audio input, but this was only partly successful. I tested the UCassette with the Phones output from a Yamaha KX-250 Cassette deck and it worked perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt also comes with some PC software to convert TAP files to .wav then .mp3. There are 473 games in TAP format, a few in .T64 and all have .mp3 tracks. This was a bonus.
Recommended if you want a reliable alternative to the slowly failing 1530 Datasettes.
