This is the reason I decided to implement D81 support in OpenCBM ... ... and 1581 CP/M format too, for us 128 (ab)users? Just wondering. I didn't know about this CP/M format?!

Only for completeness.

Zoomfloppy is available from RETRO Innovations


It is the commercial product of a XUM-1541 and works very well. For all IEC and IEEE-488 drives of Commodore.

Where's the English link to click for it?

It all comes up in German or Martian or something similar. :(

Yes, it is a german shop. Donald does speak german only. But it should be no problem to translate your communication. Donald is a very reliable man.

Yes, the firmware is an empty image.

You can configure your virtual FE3 in VICE and allow save to image by option. After this you have a 512KB big file which is your personal image including all games and tools you want.

it is a VICE problem, VICE supports FE3 cartridge but don#t support SD2IEC (µIEC-SD). So it is not possible to access SD card within a VICE emulated code like FE3 firmware.

Please contact either VICE team or team for Pandora VICE port.
