Pete,

So Nibread running with Zoomfloppy currently supports fast serial? That is good news. I think it is now time for me to upgrade from my XAP1541. I have held off on the parallel mod to my 1571 due to the risk of destroying the drive when pulling and reinserting chips.

Yes, it works fine. Just a ZF+1571 is supported. It still has some timeout issues that are being worked on, but they are rare.

I've ordered a ZoomFloppy. When it arrives, I'll start transferring the data on my disks.

My ZoomFloppy has arrived. I've installed the drivers, tested and gotten a signal from my drive, but when I started up nibread as so:

nibread overlord.nib

I get the following error:

Failed port transfer test. Check cabling.
Floppy drive initialization failed

What should I do? It seems to be searching for a parallel port connection, even though I'm hooked up through USB.

Never mind, I figured it out! I had to use the "-s" option!

I now have two games to send in: Overlord (American version of Supremacy), and Risk. How should I send them in?

I just bought some brand new, still shrink-wrapped C64 games off eBay. Some of these games do NOT have verified copies in the database! I'll archive them first thing when they start arriving.

*Crosses fingers and hopes the disks still work!*
