BeebuiTape

The Digital Tape Alternative
for BBC Micro or Acorn Electron

What it does

It is used to play UEF files (games and apps) from a MicroSD card through an audio cable into where the tape deck would normally plugin thus eliminating the need for a 30-year-old tape deck. Its a play only function so no record feature. You can still record using conventional methods though. Simply find your favourite game or app in UEF  file format, copy it to the sd card and the rest is straight forward. It was designed for BBC and Acorn computers. Its based on an MaxDuino

What you need to know

If you opt for it we provide an audio cable and a USB cable but you will need a power source for the USB. Any will do since it doesn’t require a great deal of power to run.  When purchasing a microSD card do not get a cheap or a super-fast one like a class 10 card.  You will need to own or buy (from ebay) an  data cassette cable as show in this pircture > HERE
