XUM1541 – The fast C64 floppy USB adapter
The xum1541 (pronounced “zoom”) is built from a modified version of the xu1541 firmware. It is a USB full speed device and supports high-speed parallel cables. The hardware USB support significantly speeds up transfers. It will support mnib (aka nibtools), which provides low-level imaging to backup copy protected disks.
I’m most excited about this feature since it is critical to archiving original floppies for the C64 Preservation Project.
