Ide64 V4.1 Out :d Commodore 64 Options

[bucko]

DE64 V4.1 is the long awaited successor of the IDE64 V3.4 build using the present-day technology.
The new IDE64 can be used with the variety of up-to-date or archaic devices witch makes IDE64 V4.1 the most versatile peripheral device for Commodore 64. It supports Hard Disks, CDROMs, DVDs, ZiP drive, LS-120, CompactFlash (CF) and more. Contrary to the successor IDE64 can serve three devices in the same time.
When used with CF, IDE64 doesn't need any additional power supply, CF has low power consumption (including IDE64 approx. 140mA). Of course the IDE64 can be used with standard ATA hard disk drives or CD/DVD ROMs together with CF or without CF option.

Just checked back wondered when this was out, need to save some money. THis is like the best mod for the Commodre 64 (mine is still working fine).

£89 though but it looks worth it.
