Marko Mäkelä wrote the C2N232 firmware in machine language. All utility software has been written in portable C for POSIX® compliant (Unix-like) systems, Microsoft Windows and Commodore AmigaOS.
The program loads an automatically starting fastloader that loads
and starts the specified program by RUN
or
SYS
statement. Version 1.0.2 fixes a bug in the cassette
port #2 of the universal PET loader. Version 1.0.3 can avoid starting the program,
and it is able to load to the memory area
$d000
..$dfff
on the Commodore 64 and
Commodore 128. Version 1.0.4 features a progress indicator on other
systems than Commodore AmigaOS. Version 1.0.5 works better with USB-based
RS-232 adapters (tested with two adapters based on the Prolific PL-2303).
The program can transfer some low-level tape images
(.tap
). Due to the slow transfer rate, high frequencies
cannot be repeated. Some noise can be reduced by the separate
tapcleaner
utility.
