I use this little XUM1541 device together with

OpenCBM: github.com/OpenCBM/Open...
and D64EIC blog.worldofjani.com?p=647 to combine D64 images when the XUM can't get a single stable one.

As far as I know XUM1541 can't really do anything sophisticated, KryoFlux or ZoomFloppy are better for that.

For unprotected CBMDOS disks, XUM1541 / ZoomFloppy with OpenCBM is a good solution. Assume this is what you have. If you have an Ultimate64 or 1541-Ultimate cart, you can just hook up the drive and transfer directly. But that's too easy to be any fun at all. 😀

I'm sure I have used my Action Replay V6 cartridge (or an image of the same cartridge with Kung Fu Flash) for this, and it works.

I would normally use an XUM1541 interface (ZoomFloppy clone) with OpenCBM for this purpose though.

Hi @pixelambacht.bsky.social Never tried connecting a XUM1541 to a Mac myself, but it should be possible since it's just USB.
Plus, I've seen guides/videos online for using OpenCBM on Mac, so it's definitely doable. 🧵

thanks for the reply! So I'm aiming to use my real 1541c, but I have to dig into the opencbm documentation to make sure I can address sectors beyond #35 so I can write from my PC using my ZoomFloppy I bought ages ago. I also have to wait for a VIC-II Kawari to arrive from Ireland to run PAL things..
