New 2023 build - FM Radio Module For the Commodore 64 & 128 by Timo Voutilainen

New 2023 build -

FM Radio Module For the Commodore 64 & 128 by Timo Voutilainen 






We have given the FM Radio a major make over!

Where to start, we have taken all the elements and combined them on one PCB which plugs directly into the Commodores user port.  We now use a telescopic antenna, which can be easily plugged in and out as needed. Plus there is a new daughter board connector.

You can plug in a RTC DS3231 Module to add date and time stamps, the DS3231 uses a CR2032 battery or LIR2032 (Not included). LIR2032 can be recharged automatically by the DS3231. The DS3231 also has onboard storage and can save all your favourite radio stations.

The software has also been updated to include all the latest releases -

AudioEX 2.0
FM RADIO v2.6
FMCD64 v1.0

Plus the new all new GEOS App and the Commodore 128 FM RADIO by Particles BBS.
Sold with permission from Timo Voutilainen & Particles BBS.

Simply plugs in your User Port and you can listen to the radio on your 64 and 128!
Works everywhere, UK, USA, Australia, Europe, etc,

New - WiC64 – The Wireless Interface for Commodore 64, 128, 128D & SX-64

  The Wireless Interface for the Commodore 64. The WiC64 is a parallel WLAN interface for Commodore computers with user port connection.
