Parallel Cable for The Commodore Disk Drive 1541-II

The Commodore parallel cable is a companion cable for the Commodore serial cable (IEC) and gives you an additional parallel connection between a Commodore 1541, 1570 or 1571 drive and a Commodore 64 machine or via XUM1541 (PROMICRO)/ZoomFloppy …

The cable is supported by the following Commodore software:

  • The DOS accelerators Dolphin DOS and Speed DOS.
  • The disk copiers 15 Second Copy, Burst Nibbler and Maverick.

VIA 6522 Fix:

With the Commodore 1541-II disk drive there’s still an open issue after the parallel cable installation, you need also to cut the track between the PIN1 and PIN2 of the VIA 6522 (the same VIA where the parallel cable is installed).

No more to say.

I leave you the links, good reading.
