  • Re: BackBit cartridge for the C64/128 (fwd)

    From bernardoone@netzero.net@3:770/3 to All on Tue Mar 10 06:34:55 2020
    For the C64, C128 (in 40-column mode), and VIC-20, the BackBit cartridge is still for sale at

    https://www.backbit.io/

    See Evie's introduction to the BackBit at

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLik3CBZlL5eW3O-LaLSmVX5k3eL0nKWet&v=G3t2_iloGVQ&feature=emb_logo

    and how to use the BackBit at

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YKruh_DiEY&list=PLik3CBZlL5eW3O-LaLSmVX5k3eL0nKWet&index=2

    The big selling point of the cartridge is its compatibility with various disk, tape, and cartridge images, like D64, D81, CRT, PRG, P00, .20, .40, .60, .a0, and more. Just drop the image(s) onto a microSD card and pop the card into the
    BackBit. You see
    the file(s) on a menu, you select the one you want, and it loads and runs. No Commodore calisthenics to get the computer to recognize the image type.

    As mentioned above, the BackBit cartridge works with the VIC-20 with a special adapter that fits the BackBit into the adapter. Evie has a video that explains
    it at

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Une9mquKL0w&list=PLik3CBZlL5eW3O-LaLSmVX5k3eL0nKWet&index=7
