 Re: Trackloader For The Masses Not The Classes

Personally I don't like the idea of trackloaders. Nowadays as I'm getting older I don't want to use real floppy disks and we have very few alternatives for them:
- we have SD2IEC which supports some loaders (C64 ones but I managed to implement one of the IRq loader protocols on plus/4) but best usable for file based stuff
- we can use UK1541 (with some customization because the original one does not fit the plus/4 mechanically) which is a fair enough implementation for D64 images and supports most of the loaders (except the ones with custom DOS but I'v never seen one for plus/4) and cannot be used with a C16 and a C116 as it's connected to user port
- I'm not sure about 1541U2+ . Just received mine today so I I have to try if it's really usable with the plus/4. In theory it has standalone but you may never know.
