Buying zoomfloopy was my last option to buy one today. So I just might do that. 
Ian. Remember, I am using the latest (beta) version of OS X Yosemite.  Like you
did for me with vice. They didn't work.

Recent builds of OpenCBM should come with the imgcopy utility. With a
ZoomFloppy connected to your 1581 you should be able to read/write d81 files
from your Mac with imgcopy. If I remember, I'll bring my ZoomFloppy with me to
the next meeting and build you a recent OpenCBM set for your Mac.
