EPYX FASTLOAD
Epyx Fast Load allows programs to load from the COMMODORE 1541 disk drive at 2,500 bytes per second, and to load from the SD2IEC drive at 8,000 bytes per second
Average Loading Speeds Comparison:
Normal C64 Loading: 500 bytes per second
Epyx Fastload (1541): 2500 bytes per second (5X faster!)
Epyx Fastload (SD2iEC): 8000 bytes per second (16X fastern!)
Since it is stored on a cartridge, and thus provides instant access without requiring any hardware modification of the C64 or the disk drive, the Fast Load quickly became a very popular peripheral among C64 users.
In addition to disk acceleration, the cartridge also provides a built-in version of the Commodore DOS WEDGE. This dramatically reduces the number of keystrokes needed to load or save files or perform disk operations, and makes the cartridge even more convenient.
It means...loads the average game in less than 8 seconds!
HOW IT WORKS?
Simple to use, just plug it in and enjoy! Commodore Key and Run/Stop to boot from your existing SD2IEC or Disk Drive
NOTE
PRICE
Cartridge without cover : 15€
Cartridge boxed (ABS type industrial grade,no 3D printed!): 20€
