- Well I forgot to mention it, to make a file with another extention (seq, usr,
- rel (not yet supported)) you should gave the correct extention to the IBM file
- Eg. *.seq will be transfered as sequential file (seq)
-
- In normal condition 1581 and 1571 have the same mechanism as 1541 but for lack
- of documentation I don't implemented the fast serial mode feature.
- I made x1541 hacking the serial protocol, I haven't burned a lot of 1541 and
- 486's, not so bad :-)
