C2N232 is a Commodore C2N cassette drive (datassette) emulator
with an RS-232 interface. It was designed by
Marko Mäkelä (msmakela@nic.funet.fi).
The device allows data transfers between all 8-bit Commodore computers that
are equipped with a cassette interface (PET series, VIC-20, C64, C128,
264 series, PET-II series) and any computer that has a 38400 bps RS-232
interface. Supported protocols include pulse width modulation (normal
cassette LOAD/SAVE/OPEN, and any tape speeders that use at most 3 different
pulse widths), and a custom protocol whose transfer speed exceeds 38400 bps
already on a 1 MHz Commodore.
The software is work in progress. The preferred methods of using the C2N232
are c2nload and cbmlink, the replacement of prlink.
