SVI-CAS Digital Tape Alternative for Sinclair Machines
Posted: Sun May 30, 2021 9:53 am
Greetings all,
For those who may be interested, or even just curious, SVI-CAS is a digital tape drive that supports the 8bit classic Sinclair machines (among others) with both image playback and recording functionality, it's a direct alternative to the TZXDUINO / MAXDUINO units currently available.
I developed this unit due to my dissatisfaction with what was available at the time and wanted a total solution for all my Sinclairs (particularly my ZX80) as well as the rest of my classic micros.
Some images of the unit performing various functions (note TFT display hard to photograph clearly):
