TheBluFalcon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I have seen those tape/floppy drives that slot into the cartridge slot looking space on the side of the unit, but I have been having a hard time finding them on Ebay and when I do, they are always very expensive. Are there any other ways to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMenard Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 For the cassette tape a simple cable will do. For real floppy, your best bet is a peripheral expansion box but they're expensive and very heavy so be prepared to spend a lot for shipping. But if you can live without using real floppy, then the upcoming TiPi may be more practical and less costly for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Also, a nanoPEB could be a good choice. They have most of the functionality of the PEB, but will not expand beyond 32k, rs232, and disk access. For almost all games, thats about all youll ever need. They become available once a month or so, either used or new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other ways to do this? Over the years we set up some information on our Wiki https://www.ninerpedia.org/. Maybe have a look there (does not mean your questions are not welcome here, of course ) Edited January 21, 2018 by mizapf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 BTW, theyre usually less than a hundred bucks and weigh less than a pound, so shipping isnt an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
