$
165.00
This ThinPCs are fully passive mini computers made in 2010s are the ideal choice to run legacy software for Windows. They come with Windows XP and the complete set of tools pre-installed to manage and operate Casio FZ-series. This includes the full library of legacy software as well as the new development.

This systems are specifically optimized to run FZDUMP2026 software by Deftaudio.
Based on the original FZDUMP app for DOS that allowed data transfer between FZ-1 and PC, it has been completely reworked in 2026 (30 years after the original code) to run on "modern" Windows - anything from and including Windows 98 SE.

It was purposely designed to use the parallel port, not rely on any microcontroller, and just initiate a transfer using a user space library to interface with LPT port. This required specific tricks in the code, since the original code used DOS interrupts. The main motivation is to keep it legacy looking. It has a built in browser to easily manage large sound library.

FZDUMP2026 remains open source, free of charge for all. You're highly encouraged to submit your improvements using this Github repository.
