CartridgeDuino Tape Emulator for MSX, Introduction.

The time when data had to be loaded with Datasettes (Computer Cassette Recorders) is long behind us, and as time passes, the media used at the time also slowly decays.
Fortunately, a few years ago there was a development that allowed a digital bitstream containing cassette data to be loaded from an SD card.
Edu Arana made a special CartridgeDuino Tape Emulator for the MSX   , with the special feature that it is a print that can be inserted directly into the card slot of an MSX machine.
So that the player does not lie around loose and that a separate power supply (and cable) does not have to be used.

CartridgeDuino Tape Emulator for MSX, continued

This digital Datasette emulator can be used twice for MSX computers:

• As an MSX cartridge (Only the power supply of the CartridgeDuino runs through the cartridge slot, the data transfer simply takes place via a cable with DIN connector for the cassette input of the MSX Machine.
• Or as a standalone TSXDuino, using the included base the cartridge turns into a functional standalone Datasette emulator and is powered via the Mini USB.

Although the current versions of the firmware support multiple systems, I have created a dedicated MSX version of this product, with a fixed DIN cable to connect to your MSX machine.
Besides the CartridgeDuino and an SD card with software, you don't need anything at all to load games and applications.

CartridgeDuino Tape Emulator for MSX, Connect:

Only plug the CartridgeDuino into the cartridge slot when the MSX is turned off (and the USB cable is not connected to the CartridgeDuino, the Tape Emulator for the MSX).

Connecting and disconnecting the DIN connector only when the MSX and the CartridgeDuino Tape Emulator for the MSX are turned off.

When removing the DIN plug from the cassette port, make sure that you do not just pull on the plastic housing of the DIN plug, as there is a chance that you will pull the plug apart.
Hold the plug between your thumb and index finger and carefully remove it from the cassette port.

Do not connect power to the USB port when the cartridge is inserted in the slot !!!!
