Really interesting! You should get in touch with Mr. Catweazel (Jens).

@tnt23
There is a guy who did something comparable for the C64. The device is called MMC64 - maybe you already know it.

He was also working on it in his leisure time. Then he showed it to Jens and it evolved as a product for the community :-)

Maybe you should also consider this option.

It's this one: http://www.jschoenfeld.de/news/news103_e.htm

It uses a nice plug-in system and there are some geeks who are developing for it.

There is even a WAV-plugin, so I can have audio "streaming" from the 1GB MMC through my C64. :lol:
You can also use it for writing D64-files (similar to ADF for Amiga) back to a 5 1/4" floppy disk or starting programs.

It takes some time though to fill a 1GB MMC just with C64 stuff.  ;-)

@tnt23:

Sorry, little OT: Are you the "tnt" I know from the C64/MMC64-scene? If yes, glad to hear you're also working on Amiga-stuff now. I appreciate your work!

That's because I've been busy releasing an even more exciting project - my second baby was born on April, 10, and it's a boy!


Congratulations!

:-)

That's the only design that doesn't need neither schematics nor special equipment for building. Everyone can DIY this
