Tapuino?

R'zo · Post by **R'zo** » Sat Mar 03, 2018 8:37 pm

I am curious about tapuino. Does any one here use one? What are it's full capabilities? Can it import/export audio? Can you plug a tape drive into it? Load datasette to export as audio, .tap or . prg and vice versa? What all can it do?

I am interested in getting one but if all it can do is load/save to SD card it wouldn't suit my purposes.

I built an early version and it's basically a tape drive emulator. You can load .tap images or save them from the computer with mine. Works with turbo loaders.

Didn't work with mine for at least one user here but with another hardware emulator whose name I forgot..

If you mean Pulse, yes it loaded fine on mine. Maybe the newer ones have an issue but I haven't had a single compatibility issue with mine. Mine is an early version I built from here http://sweetlilmre.blogspot.com/search/label/Tapuino/ before they were sold comercially. Start at the bottom of that page to see from the beginning. I used a etched PCB and pro mini in a 3d printed case. I don't think the old code I used is even available anymore.

So you can only import/export with the SD card, no audio in or outs and you can't plug a datasette in with it. It is just a datasette emulator for loading/ saving .tap files from an SD card. Is all of this correct?

You usually can connect a second tape drive to it on the commercial versions. As to the operation of the second drive maybe someone above can answer that as my version doesn't have the connector. You can save to it also and it creates a .tap file.

Interested

. If you plug in a second (this time real) datassette, how will it be controlled? I mean, both are device 1, aren't they?

I found a FAQ. With the C2N card edge connector present it can do:

Tapuino to computer (loading)
computer to Tapuino (saving .tap)
C2N cassette to Tapuino (.tap)
Tapuino to C2N cassette. (From source .tap file)

No analog functions.

A simple switch would do the trick.
