Commdore 64 Drive on PC with XA1541Cable
Added 2020-03-21 15:00:42 +0000 UTCThis won't be the final released video because I need to make a few corrections, but this is close enough to done that you'll barely notice a difference.
This was an accidental video in a way. I've still been trying to make the video I wanted to using my PET and it really has been one of the biggest pains I've had with setting up one my my vintage computers.
But while trying to get this to work I ended up making an XA1541 cable which was way better and easier to use than I would have guessed. So I figured I would show that because I don't know if everyone else knew how cool they are.

Oh man, the sanity meter is too close to real. There are some times when I do have to get up and walk away. I really have terrible luck with Commodore stuff.

2020-03-23 20:36:43 +0000 UTCI am not, I'm really interested in the potential IEEE-488 port on that board. It looks like it might be able to work with PET drives which could potentially solve my PET software transfer problems. I'll have to check out one of those some time!

2020-03-23 20:34:58 +0000 UTCI dunno, I think I'd watch a channel called "Shelby's Perpetual Commodore Nightmare." It could be like a horror game where you'd have a sanity meter and we'd just slowly watch you go insane.
