This drive requires a modern TCBM2SD cart/paddle with the pin header soldered in place.It will NOT work with Commodore's original 1551 Paddle, the voltages are incompatible. Having said that, this emulates the 1551 drive for the 264 line of computers (C16, C116, Plus/4) improving software compatibility.It also emulates the commodore cassette, so you can load tap files.(requires a 7pin miniDIN straight through cable, not included) The case is constructed from PCBs and standoffs and the knob is 3D printed TPU.The final requirement is a PI3A+ or PI3B (not included) and the requisite software. All additional information should be found by searching 'TCBM2SD' and 'Pi1551' on github and/or google.
