About
The TS-Pico is the community's go-to modern storage interface for the TS2068: a Pico-powered cartridge that loads software from an SD card, with its own command set, enclosures, and a steady stream of firmware refinements. It's by far the largest single subject in the archive — 551 messages across 143 threads — covering setup, SD-card saves, command shortcuts, tape-image support, and troubleshooting. Ricardo Calcagno, Paul Anderson, and Kevin are among the most active voices.
