I got my 1571 with a 128--I gave the 128 away and kept the 1571 for doing
data conversoin. I honestly couldn't think of anything to do with the
128--I don't play games, so the appeal was very limited. I didn't bother
with making a special cable--I just nibbled a hole for a DB-25S in the rear
of the drive enclosure and wired up the XE-1541 components right on it. I
use plain old "straight though" cable to connect it to a PeeCee's printer
port.
Yes, the 1571 uses the MItsumi/Newtronics drive and it isn't the best
example of the species IMOHO. I'd like to use something a bit stouter such
as something from Teac or YE Data or even MPI with it.
