That's how I use my ZoomFloppy. The 2031 is normally attached to a PET and I have a dedicated 1541 for my ZF. I remember having communications difficulties with my ZF on an Ubuntu laptop. Haven't tried it in a few years. Should see where things are now. I have zero problems with my ZF and Linux and my 1541. >> d64copy won’t work... > > That's expected. d64copy does not know anything about a 2031. Sure.

Those are the ones on zimmers.net (and are likely the only ones ever released). I can check mine to be sure. -ethan Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2017-03-15 18:01:53
