Excellent!

The only tricky part is getting the parallel connection on your 1541.
Is anyone selling a ready-to-install kit? I know some users would
prefer not to do any soldering...

I wasn't trying to say it that way, so I apologize to anyone if I did.
I am interested in more contributors to the C64PP project, so if I make
the tool more useful to recruit more people to create NIB images, then
I've helped the project.

Somebody (not related to us) has been selling these on eBay lately. A
couple people in the project have bought them and said it was a snap to
install and worked with Joe Forster's XMP adapter "out of the box".

One bad thing- They are actually selling them as "Burst Nibbler" cables
along with a pirated version of the software, so Datel probably wouldn't
like it very much, if they care.

so it is me who has to apologize for turning a
quite serious discussion into something else.

Whenever c.s.c watches to a serious discussion
thread these days, I should be the last one
getting childish. :-/ Excuse me, c.s.c.
