Sinclair "black" Cased SVI-CAS Tape Units Available
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2025 7:44 am
Hello,
For anyone who may be in the market for a cassette emulation unit I have two Sinclair "Black" cased SVI-CAS units available for immediate sale, with another seven in production (five black & two grey).
The unit has come a long way since I posted here last over 4 years ago and now also includes a built-in turbo loader for the ZX80 (4k ROM) and ZX81 / ZX80 (8k ROM) which reliably knocks over 16k in under 35 seconds, there are also loads of other additions which I won't mention here due to their being applicable to various other supported machines. (Thanks to Paul Farrow for his help in getting the turbo loader so slick and small).
When recording SVI-CAS produces a P81 image from the ZX81, an "O" image from the ZX80, and a TZX image from the Spectrum.
If you would like purchase a unit or want a copy of the owners manual to see if the unit may be a good fit for your Sinclair machines I can be contacted at my usual point of order & sale address: svi_projects@protonmail.com
Please note that SVI-CAS is custom hardware and hence not an Arduino compatible device, so its custom firmware cannot be loaded onto such device(s).
Thanks
