Well, why I can understand your attitude, there is one problem with it:
Consider everyone would think like you, then who would actually test it?
At least, I can tell you that there were at least 5 regular testers of
it who reported problems and the like, and they did not have problems
with the latest version.

Another good idea that came up from internal discussions on the cbm4win
development mailing list: If you have an XE1541 cable, you might
consider building an adaptor, which just consists of two DIN plugs (one
male, one female) which crosses the lines 5 and 6 (RESET and DATA). This
way, you have an XE1541 if you operate your cable without the adaptor,
or an XM1541 if it is operated with the adaptor.
The same idea (for being operated with an XEP adaptor) is available at
http://sta.c64.org/cbmsertc.html

Well, then, it would be best not to tell you when I started this
project... ;-)
Regards,
Spiro.
