8.3 Commodore C16/Plus4
The C16/Plus4 computers are slightly different due to the fact that their cassetteport uses a slightly
different connector. Fortunately this can be easily solved by using the CBM's standard connector
adapter.

How to use:
Configure the Cassiopei to be used on a C16/Plus4 computer, this is required in order to define all
timings of the Cassiopei for this type of computer, see the chapter “Configuring the Cassiopei”. Do
not attempt to use the Cassiopei while it is not configured.
The Cassiopei's requires the following sequence of commands independent of it's operating mode.
LOAD <return>
The computer will now ask you to “press play on tape”:
–
press the PLAY button on the Cassiopei to load the currently selected game/program
–
press the MENU button in order to load the menu program to define your new settings.
The Cassiopei menu program is to be used for selecting the file (when usage of the Cassiopei
manager is not possible or desired). Navigating through the menu is possible using the keyboard or
by moving the joystick (port 1 or 2) up/down and fire to select.
When a program is loaded using the Cassiopei's fastloader, the program is executed directly after it
has finished loading. However . TAP files do no use the Cassiopei's fastloader and depending on
the .TAP file used it may be required to type in RUN.
