New XUM1541 PC USB TO COMMODORE DRIVE

PARALLEL VERSION FOR FASTER TRANSFERS,

fully assembled and tested 

This is a XUM1541 adapter, it will connect Commodore machines or drives to PC USB port. You can transfer program or games from floppy to PC and vice versa and also use your floppy with VICE emulator.

Firmware v0.7 installed, you only need to install libusb-win32 driver and OpenCMB

Unboxed, you can see power and activity led. MicroUSB connector, 6 pin female DIN connector to serial port on Commodore drive and 16 pin header for parallel connection.

RESET switch included (useful for updating firmware on PRO MICRO)

Included also the parallel cable for connecting to a modded drive with parallel port instaled. Have a look here: The 1541 parallel port

Using the parallel port on a drive,  data transfer is about 300-350% faster than using only the serial cable.

For use it you will need a drive with parallel port installed with female DB15 connector.

Available also a DELUXE BOXED VERSION: XUM1541 Parallel BOXED
