Tapuino, the $20 C64 Tape Emulator

"The Tapuino is a cheap (~ $20 or less) hardware level Datasette emulator for the Commodore C64 and Vic 20, with C16 / Plus 4 compatibility possible.
With a few components and some simple soldering (or even a breadboard), you can make a completely functional replacement for your Datasette opening up access to the vast library of .tap files available on various preservation sites.

Loading and saving of data is supported: enjoy a game of Elite and save your progress!
With additional hardware the Tapuino turns into an archiving system allowing you to make backups of those original tapes that have been lying in the loft for decades...
