   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).
