      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       TZUTC: -0400       MSGID: 1:120/616 1a05bdc0       -=> xxxx wrote to All <=-               xx> You should try Pi1541 is much compatible than SDIEC              Ya, if you run something like a fast loader that reprogams the disk drive, an       SD2IEC won't work.              The problem with both the SD2IECs and Pi1541s are they usually amateur-made.        So quality and features will differ between them.              I started with a SD2IEC. But I wanted to hook up a printer and it didn't have       a passthrough.              So I got a Pi1541. That worked like a champ until I got my Commodore Plus/4.        It just wouldn't work on the Plus/4 for some reason - while it worked just fine       on the C64 and C128.              So I picked up a different Pi1541 and that works great on all my Commodore       systems (except for the PET).              The SD2IEC that I bought also is powered through the joystick port, so I can't       use that on the Plus/4 (it has different joystick ports).                     ...
