Yeah, the SwinSID ultimate! A really nice project.
In fact I have never linked his name to SwinSID, so Robert, it was a really useful info for me.
These guys really rock! happy

IEEE488: I am still thinking as Plus/4 fan, sorry for my limited view.
As you have all those Commodores, and certainly C64 too, the Quicksilver and the Buscard are FAR better devices, than this one. As they can utilize via the Expansion port the extra data lines, the SFD1001 drive can load 4-5x faster than a 1541 (similar to 1551). (but they are pretty rare and expensive cards, as I see)

The IEC2IEEE if the poor man's IEE488 interface, it works, but slow. Maybe with JiffyDOS it may speed up but from where I may get a new ROM for SFD1001? Or not required as the drive is originally planned to work in parallel mode? (and the Plus/4 needs to get one Jiffy too..).
