Not the same thing Jeffrey. The XU*1541 & ZoomFloopy are USB based
devices, not parallel port devices.
I've use my ZF to image about 500 disks and it's the cat's ass when it
comes to processing Commodore media.

Not to plug a product per se, but X*1541 and
XU*1541 cables/adapters will
create D64 images from 1541 disks, which can be used with a myriad of
utilities and emulators designed to read such image formats.

I used an XA/XE 1541 adapter and it fried a few 1541 drives and my parallel
port on my PC. I will *never* use such a device again !
