thanks amigakit, looks like that cable has a 5pin din on one end, I`ll try find a din cable, must have one round here somewhere I can butcher, if not I`ll order that lead from you

connect to monitor of course, as c64 only puts out composite that be rca or scart on other end
if I`d wanted an RF cable I`d have asked for one , hope that helps

edit:
just noticed you do the XE1541 and Easy1541 Cable dose the Easy1541 Cable work with a pc ?
which would you recommend to use with a PC ?

Would recommend the XE1541 cable which will work with programs such as Star Commander. Boot PC with a BootCD containing these programs.

C64's with 8-pin video connectors output composite, and Y/C (aka S-Video), with 5-pin connectors only composite. So your options are 5-pin or 8-pin on the computer end, and composite RCA, composite on SCART, Y/C on dual RCA, Y/C on S-video mini-DIN, and Y/C on SCART on the monitor end.

And for the XE1541, please note that it really needs to be used from DOS - not in a DOS window or a DOSBox running inside Windows. For Windows (or Linux) you need an XM1541 or XA1541 interface, and opencbm software.

brilliant thanks for telling me MagerValp did`t realize I could do s-video

thing is the 1571 that i was given and that was sposed to work, dosn`t, so I`m still without a drive for the c64, looks like I will have to get a cable
