Use a MicroSD card as media on your original hardware (SD2IEC), this device functions like an additional Disk Drive.
The SD2IEC feature connects directly to the serial port (IEC) of the commodore 64 or in the back of an existing 1541 (or compatible) disk drive unit. Powered by the cassette port leaving expansion port free.
It can be configured to drive 8,9,10, or 11 with jumpers and then setup as a second drive or used as the primary drive.
Use d64 or PRG files downloaded from the internet or create them from your existing disks onto the MicroSD card and copy onto your pc for storage or distribution to the internet.
Additionally you can attach an external 5V MicroUSB power source and run this on your non c64 compatible commodore 8bit computers such as the c16, vic20, or plus4.
In order to protect your electronical devices, always turn off your Commodore 64 before connecting or unconnecting any device.
This is a complete solution to the current price and reliability of floppy disks and slow disk speeds that the 1541 or other SD2IEC units suffer.
The MicroSD Card is NOT included. Do NOT connect USB cable if it's already connected to expansion port.
