• Buying a SD2IEC

    From Spitfire@64:500/2 to All on Sat Dec 21 08:34:19 2019
    My next purchase is a SD2IEC. I think I may have better luck trying to
    get a C-Net BBS up and running on the real hardware, but I have just 2 1541 drives. Using a SD2IEC adapter will allow me to have the room for a proper BBS. When I look, most re made over seas and will take some some to get here.
    Some of the reading on them state some draw backs. Like thin wires or electrical tape used to wrap things up. Anyone have any suggestions?

    with little to no issues, I have it partitioned into 12 partitions everyone says no more than 140 or so megs per partition I have 4 gigs per partition
    and the BBS runs fine my last partition is like 12 gigs of a 32 gig sd card.. Just google Jim Brain ..

    Thanks, Now that I have C-Net64 emulated, I want to try it on my C64 and my RS232 WiFi modem. I will need more space than just a 1541 drive!

    You will like the uIEC/sd if you go that way, unfortunately it doesn't come with a case but it is definitely worth it..

    Great.. One thing did you check to see if your board is socketed?? If not you have to have the JiffyDos that solders into your board.. I never checked my board before I ordered it and guess what it was useless to me.. Jim was good about it he was willing to give me my money back on it but I didn't want it I told him to throw the money towards a ZoomFloppy which was a great investment...

    I checked before I ordered, mine is in a socket and can be swapped. Just have to put the little hole in the case for the switch. I need to get some switches also for my 1541's and install them to toggle the drv# hardware.

    Thats a good thing!! I have 2 64c's one I just took off the line yesterday
    and put my 2nd one on the line, both are the same board, non-socketted! I am probably going to send my extra one out to be re-capped and socketed and get
    a uIEC/SD hooked up and mounted inside the case.. I saw a nice Youtube video
    of it and although I think I can do it I don't want ot burn it up..

    My uIEC/Sd has been running great. My C-Net64 BBS has been on it for some time now. There has been a time where it looks like it locked during a load. The green LED was locked on the the BBS was locked hard. This only happened twice now.

    Hi Spitfire!

    21 Dec 2019 08:34, from Spitfire -> All:

    My next purchase is a SD2IEC.

    It is a nice option if you do not want to go 1541 ultimate.
