Hi,
After a bit of advice and to buy one of the above depending on said advice. I basically just want to speed load and was wondering which option is better and if anybody has one for sale.
Thanks in advance.

Reloaded, any opinion on which is best, EPYX or Final Cart iii?
They are both good cartridges. If you want simpler DOS commands then the EPYX cartridge gives you commands that are easier to type than the FCIII commands. FCIII has additional features but if you don't care about those then the EPYX may be the way to go.

Thanks heather.

Buying an EPYX reloaded on a bidding site, this thread can be closed off. Thanks.

the best speedload option of course is JiffyDos....
How about S-JiffyDOS? Not many people talk about it, but it seems like a nice upgrade to me compared to JiffyDOS.Quote:

carts are only good for 1file compressed (ripped) prg files.
jiffydos however speeds up all disk routines so everything is faster.
advantages of carts,
plug and play and they software patch your 1541 etc for 1 file speed load perfect for action reply etc 1 file images or 1file prg files.
advantages of jiffydos
your cart slot is free
you can switch between jiffydos and CBMdos via a switch (datasette routines removed in jiffydos so new jiffy commands fit)
SD2IEC sd card solutions have (or should have) jiffy support built in.
disadvantages to jiffydos
you have to open you C64 and replace the basic ROM with a switchable jiffy Eprom
you have to replace the ROM in your 1541 etc disk drive to support jiffydos
