As I remember I had to supply the power adapter. I use it on a modern Windows XP machine, and it works with a USB serial port. (regular port fine too) I guess you could make a real floppy disk by connecting it up with a real floppy drive on a different port number and copying it with the 64. I haven't tried that. I could give it a try and let you know. I make real floppy disks using XA1541 cable connected to a Win9x box.

How "new" of a PC does it require? Does it work with WinXP? Thanks for the info! :) Ken --- On Wed, 9/23/09, Kevin Adams <va3rca@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Kevin Adams <va3rca@xxxxxxxx> > Subject: [torontocbm] Re: C64TPC (Connect Commodore 64 to PC) > To: torontocbm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Received: Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 11:00 AM > I > have one and use it regularly.
