EDIT: great thread btw! Thanks a lot, this was really useful!

RR connects to LAN and I run Netdrive on my work machine (iMac) which allows you to copy files to and from the iMac from the C64 as though it's a disc drive.

It even treats .D64 images as folder. Which is nice....

Easy 1541
c64Opik (opus-like gui for easy1541)

to manage d64 files on amiga i use:

SimDisk
und64

But the MMC Replay can also load CARTRIDGE images onto it and work as a cartridge of the type you wish (the more useful type being the freezer cartridges).

Does that mean you can make like a complete memory dump which you can later resume?
If so that's a good enough workaround for the lack of disk drive emulation.

I used to use OpenCBM but it's been so long since I've used it I can't remember how to work it! XP doesn't have DOS, so is this an issue? I'm needing to make some new disks up and I want to make it easier on myself

akira, would the XU1541 be pretty much like a c64tpc?

No, I deem it better.
It's like a regular XE1541 solution but through USB. You can use Star Commander or OpenCMD, 64HDD and the other usual apps.
