  • C64 Tape deck wired for a Spectrum ?[url="http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=5159841784&rd=1"]http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&ite…

    It's not a Commodore tape deck, is it? Similar shape. But not one I recognise. The box doesn't suggest Commodore. Maybe a third party that based it's design on the C64 deck, and produced suitable decks for both machines.

    Maybe :)

    Yes it is possible- you can use TZX to Wav and make a CD. You can then play the CD through the usual Speccy input. If you have a +2 then you will need a CD-Tape adaptor- press Play on the tape deck and start the CD. All should be fine- hopefully.
