I have the TFW8bit one but the no wires one looks like a nice setup. Daisy chaining the TFW8bit on a real drive is a bit problematic due to cable length.

Just tried it out, no issues. I'll shoot you a PM with where I got the d64 file
Your pm's motivated me to try the cracked version "crusadee" again and I did get it to work on the sd2iec but had to change the drive # back to 8 from 9. When I had sd2iec set as drive 9 it wouldn't get passed the cracker intro screen, just reset back to it. So the cracked code must be looking for drive #8
This pic is what you get when trying an "original" file on the sd2iec. It looks like it is loading scenario but then will die at flashing cursor.
I have a stack of 5 or 6 pretty sure non working 1541 drives.
Is there a comprehensive repair guide for it?
I was doing some more reading today. Would probably start with the service manual here as the diagrams are fairly legible. There are also some good png of schematics.

This Sam's repair guide is a decent read but I couldn't find a pdf version w/ clear pics.

I have all of the devices offered by backbit, even the Vic-20 adapter (and I don't own a Vic-20, haha).Figured I would bump this thread since discovering new klov member's @evietron excellent BackBit cart (looks way easier than s2diec) and her many c64 goodies at https://store.backbit.io/. Just ordered a BackBit. @RobMcRaf you need to check it out.
Funny because I just heard of it and watched YouTube vid yesterday. How does it handle multi disk games like wasteland?Figured I would bump this thread since discovering new klov member's @evietron excellent BackBit cart (looks way easier than s2diec) and her many c64 goodies at https://store.backbit.io/.

Last time I checked, last year sometime, it did not support multi disk games. I'll have to see if there has been an updateFunny because I just heard of it and watched YouTube vid yesterday. How does it handle multi disk games like wasteland?
I think it has the same issues that sd2iec has. Basically, there are patched versions of multidisk games that work on s2diec and those work with the backbit.
