ScuzzBlog: Diaries July 2019 Entry 24th July 2019: Post 01: Commodore Datassette or C2N Cassette. Commodore Datassette or C2N Cassette. Not sure Commodore knew what to call their datassette/cassette cus on some they are called C2N. I just know this unit to be probably one of the older of their range. The ones shown here are a little weathered. I always reflect on the state of the datasette as being the type used in a cluttered badly lit smoke filled room where a lone programmer is hard at work. Most have evidence of cigarette burns and scratched cassette covers suggesting a hastily ejected tape to save that all important program quickly that probably took most of the night to forge. The wires on these things are so large and just doesn't flex. The later models are a little better. The 1530 white was for the mainstream C64s with the 1531 designed for the Plus/4 with the smaller end connector. It is possible to use an adaptor for the C64 connector. I plugged this lot together to have a play and a test of one of my VIC-20s plus the VC 1541 5.25" floppy drive. She performed perfectly and on standby I had my C64 reference guide which has all my commands just in case I forgot Load "file",8 etc. Amazing after all these years that you can simply plug the kit together and throw in a 5.25" or cassette tape and it all works. The VIC 20 has the external modulator adaptor thingy so I can connect to the TV. It also has the square power connector for this model which does differ. I am using the black and white TV so sadly no colour. Onwards. Commodore Datassette or C2N Cassette.
