Tapuino Mini
Tapuino Mini for Commodore 64, VIC-20, C16, Plus 4, PET
Tapuino Mini is a full playback datassette emulator based around the Arduino platform that allows you to read and write TAP (tape cassette) files.
Unlike other hardware datassette emulators, such as the µCassette, the Tapuino does not require an external tape playback device or digital audio player. Rather, the Tapuino hosts an SD card reader and the entire device attaches directly to the C64’s cassette port
From the C64’s perspective this device is indistinguishable from a real datasette. As a result, any Commodore computer with a tape port can use this device.
Supports TAP Files.
Note: SD card not supplied.
The device had been hand assembled and fully tested.
Please note that to use it with the C16/Plus 4 you will need an adaptor to connect the Tapuino to the C16/Plus4 (Adaptor not included)
Make sure that the Commodore is switched off before inserting/removing the Tapuino. Old retro computers are not plug and play.
Failure to do this and you risk damaging your Commodore and the Tapuino.
Usage:
– For best results use a SD card less than 32GB.
– Format your SD card to FAT32 and copy TAP files to SD card.
– Insert SD card into Tapuino Mini.
– Plug Tapuino Mini into Commodore (Take note of the orientation – OLED Screen up)

The Tapuino Mini is similar to the Tapuino full size device that I sell. See here for more details:
