Hi there, i really want to load my tapes into the 6128plus and i know there is a mod using diodes and relays... however i dont have diodes or relays please tell me there is a basic way of doing this? I have various resistors and other components just no diodes and relays and with the corona i really want to make this happen with parts i have to hand?
The relay and probably the diode (if it's the one connected across the relay) are only required to turn the cassette motor on and off. If you can live with hitting play / pause yourself, then you don't need them.

ok so what would happen if i just hooked up the tape in and tape out and nothing else? anything at all? would it damage anything? I mean bare bones not even the transistor
It would work fine and wouldn't cause any damage. The transistor (and resistor) are only there to turn on the relay.

Thank you so much - did the mod last night took me a bout half an hour and it works perfectly, once i set my tapedeck volume right it loaded paperboy, wonderboy and dragonninja with no problems at all... on the subject of tapes is there a way of copying them to disk I curently have the c4cpc and was wondering if maybe there is a dumper rom i can tun on there to dump a tape to disk?
Yes, but it's easier to just find the disk version online.

There are many games converted to .cpr that you could directly use with your c4cpc in this thread

Duchet Computers was about to sell a such hardware.
Does anyone know how to contact them ?
I found this.
