XU1541 USB Adapter now available

From today you now can purchase the XU1541 adapter from our site shop. The XU1541 was originally developed by Till Harbaum and the project was abandoned. But its now still well alive, thanks to our resident engineer Jurek.

This adapter is the modern version of the parallel port X1541 cable but now with USB capabilities. Allowing modern PC's & laptops to use the Commodore range of disk drives such as the 1541 etc..

It comes in two packages both including world wide postage, the first being with a USB and serial cable at ~~£34.00~~ (Now £38.00 due to increased cable costs), and second package without the cables at £29.00. Both come with a custom built Opencbm and GUI.

So if you want to purchase one of these amazing adapter's just head over to our shop.

This adapter is looking promising but I'm missing some basic requirements info.

I have no clue if I should order this thing with or without cables.
The USB cable I already have. Also I have a working C64 + 1541-II drive connected by a serial cable. Is that all the cabling I need ? Why are there 2 serial connectors ?

Which types of cbm drives and which operating systems are supported ?

Hiya. Just wondering how long shipping usually takes. I ordered one a week ago but haven't even had a confirmation mail... :)

Wait...
can you save presets from messiah or can you load whole bunch of games straight from PC's Hard Drive ?

Does it work with OS X? If not, I'd be interested in writing an IOKit driver for it.

If I want to use this thing to "convert" my old floppies to D64 files, what software do I need?

More photos, manual and FAQ are coming soon! Also other devices will appear soon, like SD2IEC. Is anybody interested?

I'm interested in this adapter but I'd like to see some more information posted about it. For example I'd like to know if it'll work with my Commodore 1570 drive, if it'll work with Windows XP, Vista or 7, what the transfer speeds are and why there are two serial connectors. Thanks in advance!

Does this also work with nibtools?

oh but don't forget I helped Jurek to get it working ;)
I offer it in Poland in a bit different way - with one 50cm long cable instead of sockets.
