This requires the XE1541 cable which goes from the parallel port on
your PC to the IEC connector on the C64. But you need an older PC
as the newer PCs parallel port will not work properly. There is
also the new XM1541 ( http://sta.c64.org/xm1541.html ) which is
supposed to work with most parallel ports and PC boards. The is also
a link there for The Star Commander which handles quite a few different
file formats (and this cable!) :)
I've fiddled with a homebrew XM1541 a bit. It does OK with the
multi-mode parallel ports, but I found that it's most reliable on
sub-200MHz PCs. I remember that one of the software packages worked
really well and one just pissed me off a lot, but I don't remember
which. :)
