I've seen the ZoomFloopy advertised.
Can't recall if it works with the CBM Serial Port or have to install it
inside the 1541 case.

I will look to see if I can use OpenCBM without buying the ZoomFloppy if
I want to try to make a D64 file.

I haven't used the C=64 much lately, but last time I turned it on I could
still Load Programs from my Floppy Disks.

 K-> WinVice is the most common emulator that I use and it works really

I couldn't remember the correct name for the Emulator.
All I could remember is the name started with the Letter 'V'.

Thanks! for writing.
