Suck, since I don't have the dough for a 1541U I guess I'm going to be chained a big ol' drive.  Oh well. tongue  Floppy swappers look cooler anyways.

Lots of trackers use fastloader routines to save data to disk, needing diskdrive emulation.

If your just going to use your C64 for music would an option that emulates the 1541 completely be necessary?  I'd just like to back up stuff from JCH and some other trackers.

I was looking at the XU1541, but there's one thing I don't get... it seems it's only made to connect a 1541 floppy diver to the pc, but I need to connect my C64 to something where I can store data... is there a trick to do this with the XU1541 or do I have to get a 1541Ulitmate?

XU1541 looks really interesting! With USB and all... I'm not really moving the C64 a lot anyway, and if I would do, then not without a laptop...
EDIT: great thread btw! Thanks a lot, this was really useful!

I use a combination of RetroReplay + (ethernet board) and Netdrive.

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....

Thanks for those neuro, I think i will make me the easy1541 cable because it sems more convenient for my current home studio setup!

i would add Easy1541 for amiga users. It works like the X*1541 solutions but running on amiga.

Easy 1541
c64Opik (opus-like gui for easy1541)

to manage d64 files on amiga i use:

SimDisk
und64

No, what I wrote just means that you can load a ROM image of your liking and use it, including freezer carts. here might be freezers that allow memory snapshot and dump to disk though!

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.

OpenCBM is the best. Works on XP.

What would be the best program to use with an XU1541 on Windows XP? 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.
