| has gloss | eng: The 1541 Ultimate is a peripheral developed for the Commodore 64 (C64). It's a C64 compatible cartridge that carries an Action Replay, The Final Cartridge III, Super Snapshot, Retro Replay or TurboAss with Codenet support (whatever the user prefers) and a fully compatible FPGA-emulated Commodore 1541 drive that is fed from a built-in SD card slot with C64-compatible files (e.g. .D64 diskimages or .PRG single program files). The first batch of 1541 Ultimates were shipped in early April 2008, costing 100 EUR for the basic version and 120 EUR for the "plus" version with 32 MB RAM. Due to strong demand the second and third batch were produced and shipped in early October 2008. From the second batch on, the normal version without the 32 MB RAM was discontinued due to weak demand. Also, a new Ethernet option is available for an extra 40 EUR, with the Ethernet logic directly soldered onto the board and the port just below the SD-slot. |
