Hardware - Commodore 1531 Name: Commodore 1531 AKA: Tape Category: Tape Device Introduced: 1984 Manufactured: Commodore Business Machines (UK) Ltd. (CBM) Tape The 1531 Datassette was made for the 264 series. It had a new connector, which meant that it could not be connected to any other computer, and that no other tape drives could be connected to the 264 series computers. However, a number of adaptors were made to allow connection of 1530/C2N Datassettes (there were also adaptors to connect the 1531 to the C64 etc, with some included with the 1531). The 1531 was included in many bundles, and in Europe (especially on the Hungarian scene) it was the only peripheral people had. Produced in two variants: With larger tape counter, black reels with white numbering, record LED below tape counter, made in Taiwan. (shown as Type A) With smaller tape counter, white reels with black numbering, record LED above record button, made in Japan.
