while we're on the topic, isn't it fairly easy now to add an index hole sensor to a 1541? Joe, do you have these, or could make them? my 1571 does -not- work with nibtools, I have no idea why. I even swapped in jiffydos chip I just got from Jim yesterday, still doesn't work. it fails the cable test, even though I use the exact same cables on the 1541 and that works. very weird. Dan.
