I built one of the standard X1541 cables, very easy even for a soldering
screw-up like myself.
I was unable to make Star Commander do its thing, it would hang everytime
I tried to write a disk image, I ended up using Trans64 which works
beautifully.

a 1541 read an Apple ][ disk? I know they both use GCR encodings for
their disks, and it'd be really useful if I could read disks on my PC.
