Developer Josef Soucek has announced that IDE64 V4.1 is once again available for ordering. Go to http://news.ide64.org (http://news.ide64.org) to read up on the latest news for this well-supported device.
The IDE64 cartridge is a device for connecting an IDE hard disk drive and CD-ROM drive to a C64, and/or it can be used with a CompactFlash card. It is plugged into the Expansion Port and connected to the hard drive by means of a 40-wire cable. IDE hard drive transfer rate is more than 100 times the rate of the floppy drive 1541. The IDE cartridge contains a 128kB ROM (EPROM or flash EPROM with IDE DOS, Machine Code Monitor, File Manager and Setup), a 28kB RAM (used for internal buffers), a real-time clock chip (powered by a battery), two LEDs (to indicate the presence of the cartridge and HDD activity), a Short-BUS for new peripherals, Amiga Clock Port, mini-USB Device Port (PCLink), and an ispLSI chip. Its price is 99 Euros including shipping.

We never thought about that at the last SCCAN meeting! Josh S. had brought his 1541U, and I had brought my IDE64 v4.1. Oh, well, we can try out the combination at the next February SCCAN meeting.

There a fantastic piece of kit :)
I'm running c64web (http://c64web.com) from one with a rrnet connected for a few weeks to check stability. :)
So far so good.
P.S i found the online store and service second to none.

My IDE64 came relatively fast from the Czech Republic (and it even came in a Cisco box). ;)
