About
The tapecart is a low-cost flash storage device for the Commodore 64's tape port. This repository contains source code and documentation related to it and will one day contain the schematics and layout files too.
Structure of the repository
This repository is organized as follows:
-
doc
This directory contains general documentation regarding the tapecart like the protocol it uses to communicate with the C64.
-
src-c64
This directory containts the source code for the C64-side software, currently the initial loader and the flashtool.
-
src-firmware
This directory contains the source code for the firmware running on the tapecart.
-
hardware
This directory contains schematics and layout for various hardware variants of the tapecart.
-
mass-programmer
This directory contains schematics, layout and software for a Raspberry Pi addon board that can be used for mass-programming tapecarts.
Schematics and layout for the tapecart itself will be released at a later date.

Questions
How big is the Tapecart diy PCB?
It measures 33 × 53 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Tapecart diy use?
25 parts, built around the BS170. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Tapecart diy KiCad files?
From the ikorb/tapecart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/DIY/tapecart-diy.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tapecart diy design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ikorb before reusing the design.
