- You didn't say, but it sounds like you have a C64. You might be running
- into problems with the extra pin on the 1581 used for fast-serial
- transfer on a C128. If you disconnect the center pin on the cable that
- leads to the 1581, it should work with a C64.

- I hope someone will confirm what I just said, because I'm not sure about
- it.
