Yeah, it's a shame that shipping one from PL to CA would cost an arm and a leg.

I have cleaned and repaired two Datasettes today. Then I realized that I don't have any cassettes to test them with. Not even a single junk tape with Christmas songs remaining.

Now I have finalized the TCBM2SD firmware. I managed to squeeze in read-only support for disk images (D64/D71/D81).
This pretty much completes what I wanted to achieve. The next step could be a cycle-exact 1551 emulator (Pi1551 base on Pi1541, but that's a completely different project).
The author of Directory Browser kindly shared the source code with me, so there is now a version that supports the native fastload protocol (23x, ~9KB/s) for files and directory listings. The browser can be easily loaded using the SHIFT+RUN/STOP combination.
Everything about the project is open-source and published at https://github.com/ytmytm/plus4-tcbm2sd
But if you own a Commodore C16/C116/Plus4 and you'd like to buy a ready-made TCBM2SD from me, please send me a message. Let me know how many you'd like and include your country of residence. I'll be ordering PCBs soon, so I’d like to estimate how many will be needed. Once I have that information, I’ll get back to you with a price offer.

It troubles me that I can type effortlessly on a 104-key keyboard but struggle with 88-key piano

"(...)I managed to get WinCUPL running"
I share your pain. Or maybe not. It has Win3.1 interface, so it's retro, no?
