Here's a heart-shaped tape drive belt for you 😄. Wanted to fix a #Datassette for a friend quickly, so I replaced the belt and tried to align the azimut, but as it turns out, this little fella seems to have problems transmitting data reliably. I've never seen this before, but sometimes it will read something (as the align tool indicates to me onscreen), but then again it will not output any signals the next time I turn it on, although the drive is working, the spools are spinning and so on. After a few tries, it works again - until it doesn't. Impossible to align and test it in that condition. Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing it?

My #C64 has a new toy: #Tapuino V0.43. With it you can pack your TAP files back onto a cassette - which I did tonight for a while. Using the amazing Slushload V3 on my PC, I converted a bit over 400kB worth of games (as PRG files) into TAP files and onto one side of a C20 cassette. I did not use the highest compression, so you can easily fit half a meg and even more onto that space, which is nothing short of amazing. I used a write speed that allows for a transfer rate of up to 740 Bytes per second. You can max it out at 1,5kB per second, but I have yet to find a #Datassette that works with that setting. Fast loading from a tape? This must be the future! 😎 #retrocomputing

Quick lunch break at home - time for a belt replacement on my #commodore #datassette 😎 The old belt lies on the machine. That was pretty much done, but I am nonetheless amazed that these things do not desintegrate into smeery semi-liquid stuff like on many more expensive tape drives of the time.

@pybonacci @robintw #datassette looks quite interesting. Thanks for the suggestion!

Who else cherishes their #C64 #Datassette so much that they actually use a dust cover for it? Bonus question: Who takes it off to use the tape drive regularly?

I watched MVG's "How Old-School Cassette Tape Drives Played Games" while I was playing #MadMixII, a great #PacMania clone made by #TopoSoft, on the #AmstradCPC emulator for the #Anbernic #RG353p and I was surprised to learn how different the #C64 #Datassette was (digital vs analog), how error correction worked and how some folks invented the Turbo Loader, which was a very small programme loaded at first which changed how the #C64 interpreted the data on the cassette.

Haul #4: Macintosh and CoCo1!
After my first visit to JJ's warehouse, I kept thinking about that tantalizing wall of Macintoshes. They just look so nice! A self-contained system in a small box.
So I went back and got a Macintosh SE with a disk, a Color Computer 1, two CoCo joysticks, a Commodore Datassette, several books of type-in C64 programs, and a bunch of C64 games, including Dig Dug, a childhood favorite of mine, Flight Simulator II, SID Player Music, Music Composer, Star Post, and Jupiter Lander.
Acquired 2026-01-23.

So there are these #virtual #tape #drives available for the #Commodore64 but why would people use those, when there are various and affordable floppy disk emulations like SD2IEC available?
Is there a use case I am not aware of?
@Datassette_User maybe you can shed some light on that topic?

En el año en que MSX cumple 40, estoy agregando muchas cosas geniales para la colección. 😊 Hace unos meses fue la llegada de la MSXVR, el cartucho ObsoNET y los Mapper Megaram de 512K. Ahora recibí una Spectravideo SVI-728 impecable, en caja, con manual, cables, fuente, datassette Mitsao y un lote de cassettes con juegos. 😍❤️🕹️ ¡Felicidad pura! 😃

Today I replaced the empty battery of my vintage #Roland #Juno106 #Synthesizer.
An empty battery in this old unit results in complete amnesia of all sound presets. (Unlike the #Ensoniq #ESQ1, that – at least with later firmwares – comes up with the factory presets in such an event, and then continues having dementia…)
The first time I had done so, I had installed a battery holder to make things easier. The original battery is soldered into the board.
Always fun is to restore the backup via the #tapeInterface with that #datassette sound.
I really love how the Juno 106 is constructed. Easy access if you know those 6 screws… it's a pretty well-made, all-solid device.
Today's Roland (and BOSS) gear feels like cheap plastic toys compared to this. I guess you have to go for an expensive #Sequential synth today if you want this quality.
The Juno 106 synthesizers were made from 1984 to 1988. My dad had bought this unit brand new when I was a kid.
