Hi Leif;

Yes - It takes a lot longer than I remembered, when it
works.   I copy the D64 file across to a 3.5" disk over my
LAN to my Amiga 1200.  I have a dosdriver installed that
reads 1581 formatted disks.  Problem is, I've only been able
to successfully unpacked a few disks.  It's like the whole
system locks up part way through, I have to power cycle the
1541-II - the 1581 resets when I power the C64 back up. 
I've ordered one of those XA1541 adapters - has anyone used
one of them?

Dan
