3 Configuring the SD-card
In order for the Cassiopei to be functional there has to be an SD-card inserted into the device. The
SD-card is to be inserted on the backside of the Cassiopei. The SD-card slot is accessible by
removing the back cover. Gently insert the card as shown in the picture, the label is facing upwards
and (just like the pictures below) cannot been seen from the rear. The SD-card only fits in one
manor in the SD-card slot, so if it doesn't fit, don't force it! After inserting the card into the slot,
gently push the card a little bit further until you hear/feel a little click.
In order to remove the card, gently push the card until you hear/feel a little click. Then the card can
be removed from the Cassiopei. If you have thick fingers or very short fingernails, then a set of
tweezers might come in handy.
Tip: attach a small piece of tape to the rear of the SD-card, this way you can pull on the tape to
remove the SD-card a little easier.
This SD-card has to be properly configured, with the right folders and the right files. The Cassiopei
uses an SD-card that must be formatted according to the FAT-16 (which is called FAT in MS
Windows) or the FAT-32 format. If an SD-card is not supplied with the Cassiopei or if you want to
alter the contents of the card, please consider the requirements as described below.
3.1 SD-card requirements
There are mainly 3 types of SD-cards currently (2017) at the market:
SD-card Standard Capacity (SDSC) 1MByte – 2GByte FAT-16 filesystem
SD-card High Capacity (SDHC) 2GByte – 32GByte FAT-32 filesystem
SD-card Extended Capacity (SDXC) 32GByte – 2TByte exFAT filesystem (not supported)
All SD-cards are preformatted by the manufacturer using one of three Windows disk formats of
which the exFAT filesystem is not supported by the Cassiopei. Meaning that the Cassiopei cannot
interface with SDXC cards. This all means that the maximum size of SD-card you can use with
your Cassiopei is limitted to 32GB. Which in practice is more then enough for all your Commodore
computing needs.
