It looks like an implementation of an idea that I had back in the early 2000s, called C2N2332 (C2N232 + MMC; MMC interpreted as a Roman numeral is 2100, and 232+2100=2332). Since then, MultiMediaCards have been superceded by SD cards. The Tapecart appears to use soldered-in serial memory chips for the data storage. I do not see an easy way of sharing data with other systems, like with the sd2iec. Because the Tapecart lacks data transfer capabilities (to other than the tape interface), it would not help in the scenario that prompted this discussion: loading a file from a modern computer to a Commodore 8-bit computer, possibly as part of a program development cycle (modify the source code, recompile, load to the system for testing). Anyway, the Tapecart looks interesting, especially if it implements a bootloader for every C= 8-bit system, similar to c2nload, to allow the tapecart to be swapped from one system to another. For that to work, it would require some configuration for choosing the computer model, to load the appropriate loader. MarkoReceived on 2019-01-24 19:03:53
