I didn't know that it works in stand alone mode, my bad.

The uIEC is fine provided you don't intend to run any software that
reprograms the drive. If it does, you're out of luck. This is why it
has problems with GEOS and many games.


    - Unlike the other solutions (IDE-64 and 1541 Ultimate) it is an IEC
device and can be used with any system that has an IEC bus


The 1541 Ultimate can be used in 'stand-alone mode' connected only to
the IEC (serial) port of a Commodore computer. It does not need to be
connected to a 64's expansion port. There is a mini-USB connector on
the 1541U that is used to power it when in stand-alone mode.
