Another C64 Question - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Zane,
wcopy+ by CMD is very easy to use.  The package containing the program 
wcopy+ is called "CMD Utilities"

WCOPY+ alows me to copy files from the 1571 (as drive 9) to a 720K 
PC-formatted diskette on a 1581 (as drive 10).  I load wcopy+ on drive 8 
first, write to a 720K PC formatted diskette in drive 10 (1581 drive).

 From the 720K disk you can move files to modern computer.

WCOPY+ can take advantage of the extra memory of the c128 to do the copy 
operations faster than a c64.  If you have a RAM expansion all the better.

What solutions are people using to get data on and off of their C64's?

In the past I was able to use my old 486 with a X1541 cable and a
dedicated 1541 drive.  I also had a Catweasel in my Amiga (still have
both, but the A3000 is back in its original case with no room for a 5
1/4" drive, and up in storage), but found it to be less than a
perfect solution, at least at that time.

I really like the look of a MMC64 (MMC adapter for the 64), but they
seem to be sold out.
