That's it. Looks like a really simple build. I'm sort of leaning
toward a serial transfer link instead, though.
It's on the back burner for me too; I brought a literal pick-up load
of RS/5000 junque home last night.
AIX v3.2.4, anyone?

AFAIK, that would work, but I'd probably stay in a
DSDD format to get
more room for files. The native 1541 GCR recording is single sided
only. For all practical purposes yo should have 2 1571 type drives for
cp/m. And keep in mind that the 1541 is slower than molasses in January
for data output.
I wholly agree about the 2 1571 drives. The deal is, the 1541 was 2
bux and I haven't found an external 1571 at any price.
In my
googling for the pinout of the above-mentioned cable, I came
across some plans & software to attach a 1541 drive to a PCs parallel
port. Has anybody tried it?
Doc
Is that the X1541 cable and software? Haven't tried it yet.
