    K-> I use a product called ZoomFloppy.  It allows you to connect a CBM   
    K-> drive 1541, 1571, 1581, etc to a windows computer via USB.  Then use   
    K-> can use something like OpenCBM to make a copy of the disks into D64,   
    K-> D71 and D81 disks.   
      
   I've seen the ZoomFloopy advertised.   
   Can't recall if it works with the CBM Serial Port or have to install it   
   inside the 1541 case.   
      
   I will look to see if I can use OpenCBM without buying the ZoomFloppy if   
   I want to try to make a D64 file.   
      
   I haven't used the C=64 much lately, but last time I turned it on I could   
   still Load Programs from my Floppy Disks.   
      
    EV> I think VINE is a CBM emulator for the XP but never experimented with it.   
      
    K-> WinVice is the most common emulator that I use and it works really   
    K-> well.   
      
   I couldn't remember the correct name for the Emulator.   
   All I could remember is the name started with the Letter 'V'.   
      
   Thanks! for writing.
