   It is possible to emulate a 1541 disk drive with the 1541-Ultimate for example.   
      
   You might find it useful to switch the internal drive off. If you don't want to   
   solder a switch, you can also use this tool: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=160842   
      
   But if you want to emulate a 1571, I don't know of any solution that supports   
   D71 disk drives and burst mode. Some people said it might be possible to add it   
   to the firmware of the 1541-U (which is open source), but it hasn't been done   
   yet.
