I'm occasionally called on to transfer some

1571 and have cobbled up the XM interface connected to a DB25F permanently
mounted on the drive. That way, I can use a "straight through" cable to the
parallel port of the host PC without thinking about what I might need.
Works fine; I get use it about once every 3-4 years.
I suppose it might be possible to rig something more elaborate up using a
small MCU and a USB cable, but the need doesn't justify the effort.
FWIW, I
use a ZoomFloppy[1] connected to a 1571. OpenCBM is my choice
for software.
Only used occasionally :)

Now in the book there are many more options than on the disks that I can
use even the seyup file looks different. I hjave looked everywhere on
the web for a 2nd version but on the disks and the book they both say "
Fleet System 2+ " doens anyone or has any one ever used this software
before and If anyone can find them on the internet for download that
would be greal I think the disks were made in ...
1986
and the book was made in March of 1990...
i need the disk images from 1990 and i would gladly send who ever finds
a digital copy of the 1990 Fleet Sheet 2+ my 1986 disks... my father
bought the disks himseld he was a pastor and used them for his sermons.
