A addon from [[Draysoft]] & [[Evesham Micros|Evesham Micro Centre]] that enables you to make duplicates of tapes and copy software. The device connects to expansion port, and allows to copy data from an external tape deck to the CPC464's built-in tape recorder.
The device connects to expansion port, and allows to copy data from an external tape deck to the CPC464's built-in tape recorder. Draysoft & Evesham Micro Centre also produced a Doubler version for the [[ZX Spectrum]].  According to adverts, the doubler also had "spectacular success on the CBM64". Now, thanks to Jose Leandro, the hardware specialist of the spectrum, with his famous page : http://trastero.speccy.org/cosas/JL/JL.htm We can know more about this hardware.
