Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:

There is also renewed ZX1541 on the market which works with any SD2IEC well.

I ordered my ZX1541 a few weeks ago. It should arrive in a week or so! I plan on using one of my many real 1541 drives. lol. I have an SD2IEC and PI1541 available, but feel that actual floppies on the T/S 1000 would be awesome. I need to do a 16K internal mod on my main TS1000 before I jump into the ZX1541 interface.

The ZX1541 that I ordered arrived on the 5th of February, but I have not yet had any time to play with it :-(

The expansion options are awesome, but my dream is to have what looks like a microdrive but is really an SD reader. I'm on KS2 for a Next, but still like the old hardware to run my code on just to show myself it can.
