Datasette

Retro Gamer

Issue 259

If you’re going to adopt a common storage method across a range of computers, it makes sense to make the hardware as widely compatible as possible – and that’s just what Commodore did with the Datasette, known by the model numbers 1530 and C2N.

PLATFORM: Various » YEAR: 1981 » COST: £40 (launch), £15+ (today, boxed), £10+ (today, unboxed)

The technology was originally integrated into the Commodore PET, but external tape decks soon became available. The model featured here was introduced to match the styling of the new VIC-20, with the form factor retained for years to come with the introduction of new compatible machines such as the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128.

The Bat Man of Best Buy
