Nice review there Neil!
Of note with the Sd2iec's is that 'some' of the newer demos won't run on them if there multiload using tricky routines. You need a real disk drive or the 1541 Ultimite-II to play them properly! As for c64 games i have yet to find one that didn't work from the Sd2iec and Infinity rom packs For the price you can't beat them for what they can offer! |

Thanks Hansel! If you could reply to the article in comments, it would help others that are about to purchase an SD2IEC
Cheers again |

Games like Defender Of The Crown, Flimbo's Quest or Dragon's Lair 2 that load whilst something else is happening on screen will also be incompatible unless using a cracked version that takes out that functionality. Or a Turbo Chameleon. |

They also sell the 1541-III.
Tempted to buy one of these but which one? SD2IEC or 1541-III? |

It's probably best to see these devices as augmenting a disk drive whereas the 1541 Ultimate 2 and Turbo Chameleon replace it. |

I have one similar to the pic below - it is indeed cool and can work with both my 64 and my plus 4.
