Even though there are others available now, I think I'll wait for this one! - GREAT Concept, GREAT Job! I would love to see someone come up with a way to "hack" the C64's serial port so it would 'handle' standard USB thumb drives. And, actually have a USB port "Built-In" to the 64 itself! Even if it had NO 1541 emulation! I'm sure LOTS of stuff (One-Filers, etc.) would run fine with it. You would need some sort of a 'driver' for it I suppose. And we all know the Memory limits... But, it would still be cool! JB This looks like the most interesting project of this type going on at the moment.

Please do let us know when they are available please - I am also available to beta test if needed! Andy This is amazing – can’t wait to get my hands on one (or two) of those for our computer museum.

With many new computers not having serial or parallel ports, this device is *REALLY* needed. I am quite happy to buy the at90usb dev board to start using this. Is the firmware available for testing?

But 'not wanting to' is not the problem here. I'm just unable to solder as I'm lacking the equipment required ;) I'm more the gamer/games-collector type, who wants to preserve his collection.

Hopefully someone will sell the finished version for people that don't want to do even that, as well as a cost-reduced fully custom version.
