 |  Re: There are different PC-connection-cables for the 1541, but is there any for the 1551?
My system has 2 1551 online, and 1 switchable 1541 and 1 1581.
The 1551 drives are nice, but as gerliczer said, have a complicated protocol (TCBM), and only very few additional commands. All the rest is the same than 1541.
I've measured the speed: contrary to the promises, the real speed of a 1551 compared to 1541 is:
- 2x on writing;
- 3x on reading.
Then, summarizing, it is convenient IMO to use one of the many 1551 <-> PC link systems.
