- The X1541 program requires an adapter cable to connect your PC parallel
- printer port (LPT1/LPT2/LPT3) and a commodore disk drive (1541/1581).
- *(The Female port pinouts are shown below. The normal cable is Male-Male.)

- **** Brief command sequence for file copy ********
-
- 1. OPEN 1541 <ENTER> to select and highlight Drive# sub-menu
- <ENTER> to select drive number (8-11)
- 2. OPEN IBM
- 3. <TAB> to source filelist

- 5. <ALT> for menu

-
- DE NADA
-
- Well I forgot to mention it, to make a file with another extension (seq,
- usr, rel (not yet supported)) you should give the correct extension to the
- IBM file Eg. *.seq will be transferred as sequential file (seq)
-
- In normal condition 1581 and 1571 have the same mechanism as 1541 but for
- lack of documentation I did not implement the fast serial mode feature.

- ciao, Leopoldo
