 xx> You should try Pi1541 is much compatible than SDIEC

Ya, if you run something like a fast loader that reprogams the disk drive, an
SD2IEC won't work.

The problem with both the SD2IECs and Pi1541s are they usually amateur-made. 
So quality and features will differ between them.

I started with a SD2IEC.  But I wanted to hook up a printer and it didn't have
a passthrough.

So I got a Pi1541.  That worked like a champ until I got my Commodore Plus/4. 
It just wouldn't work on the Plus/4 for some reason - while it worked just fine
on the C64 and C128.

So I picked up a different Pi1541 and that works great on all my Commodore
systems (except for the PET).

The SD2IEC that I bought also is powered through the joystick port, so I can't
use that on the Plus/4 (it has different joystick ports).
