Does anybody know anything about this or have
experience with it or
other ways to access a 1541 from a PC
This involves connecting the PC's parallel port to a 1541 disk drive using
a special conversion cable. The XM1541 is the newest of this series of
cables going back to the venerable X1541; there's also XA1541 and XE1541
cables depending on the application.
Virtually all are supported by a DOS program called the Star Commander,
used for transferring disk images, and another called 64HDD that allows
the PC to appear as a giant disk drive to the Commodore.
