Hi Retro,
i can't aswer your question, because i don't use the real hardware much. I work more with the emulators. But my device uses the standard components and opensource Flash-bios, which are free available in the internet. But so far as i used it, it loaded everything, mostly my own stuff, because i do a little graphic-conversions as you have seen.
Let me say, a sd2iec is a real help. Quick, small setup, quick interchange of files.
For nostalgic reasons, of course, everybody should use a Floppy or even a Datasette, that mechanical Dinosaurs. Where the 1551 is the T-Rex of all. Black, big, loud, bulky. And not very reliable an the plastic is very thin. Most of them break during shipping. Mine does not read any disks any more, and i paid over 100 EU for it.
