Thanks for the reply, Csabo. Very helpful... I'm about to make up the xe1541 cable when I get the four diodes tomorrow.
Yes, Save worked just as you describe! Sorry I misunderstood Bytes Free message.
Disk image Folder is my term for the .Dxx Disk images which I'm yet to understand. I guessed
they'd be a folder, but maybe not.
At the moment I don't have a Plus/4... just a C128. But I have much of my old P/4 software and have been slowly getting it onto the PC by copying the files to a floppy with Big Blue Reader and my 1581. So the direct method seems far superior.
I spent an afternoon in Excel making a macro that would read through my P/4 programs and
create a file which I could print a listing from. It worked very well  Although now I can save a SEQ file, CMD: LIST would have been good enough.
If I get that far, making a joystick interface will be mandatory, I bet that's not easy... have soldering iron tho!
Cheers - Kirk
