TemplarXB Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I tried hooking up my C128 after more than a decade since I last used it. It won't display anything when I power on. When I hold down the Commodore key, it will boot to the purple C64 screen but displays a single exclamation mark near the center of the screen. As best I can tell it probably has ram issues. At this point, I think I'd just like to try to connect the drive, a 1571, to my PC and try to retrieve some old files and use it on an emulator. What's the current best way to connect it, assuming my 1571 evens works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I have not tried a ZoomFloppy but I do have the xu1541 which you can find on eBay: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 322276729776 Caveat, though: on my laptop the driver seems a little temperamental and occasionally requires a reboot after being disconnected. Also, I believe the ZoomFloppy supports JiffyDOS, but I would not quote me on that. I have considered that my purchase was misguided and I should have gotten the ZoomFloppy, but the xu1541 works well enough for my wants and needs.
