Well, as no actual disks are involved and the transfer speeds of the

load games and things from modern media into a vintage computer. Why
not go for maximum software compatibility and emulate the most
widespread and commonly-supported disk drive, especially if it will
save effort?

Zane, it still doesn't answer my question. "Why emulate a 1541 when
you could just as easily emulate a 1571?"
Sorry for my blockheadedness, but I'm still not clear on this.
