Hi Csabo. Well, you said it all when you said "Because the device supports D64 images, you should be able to run any software that writes to/reads from SEQ files." My point is that the author of 1541-III has stated to me that his project only recognizes PRG files. So a line of code in a PRG file calling a SEQ file(OPEN2,8,2,"DATA,S,W") will fail in 1541-III. Not because of the D64 format, but because his 1541 emulator is not programmed to recognize SEQ (or USR or REL) file types. The same is true for C64TPC, which I own and works very well as a hard disk for the plus 4, but, only for PRG files. Both of these 1541 emulators avoid use of the PC's parallel port and it is too bad they are both limited to PRG files on a D64 image. If I've missed something, please let me know. I would like nothing better that to be able to eliminate the physical disk drive, and eliminate use of the PC parallel port, but keep the physical plus4.
