Azimuth 3000

This new product, from Interceptor, will solve most, if not all, C64 loading problems.

It's a kit consisting of a clever piece of software, special screwdriver and instruction manual. With this it's extremely simple to adjust the head alignment of the C2N so accurately that it faultlessly loads programs up to 3000 baud.

After one short demonstration I had no problems adjusting my data recorder and managed to load a couple of programs which had previously been unloadable.

The manual is very clear and takes you step by step through the adjustment procedure. The software is very easy to use and the whole procedure needn't take more than five minutes.

The kit is a must for any C64 tape user. Not only will it save a lot of frustration, it will also save money for software houses: far fewer tapes will be returned as faulty.

It comes complete with an arcade game Bandana City on the reverse, which is turbo loaded at 3000 baud and means you can check your final adjustment.

Azimuth 3000 will be published in a number of languages for the export market. Interceptor warns that you should be wary of pirate versions, since these won't be on the special precision tape and could produce worse results than before!

It is, of course, re-usable and I recommend it to all C64 cassette users.
