ZoomFloppy brings Commodore disk archival into the 21st Century, bridging the gap between the both the IEEE-488 and IEC-based disk intelligent Commodore™ disk drive line and contemporary personal computers. Taking up the baton from the ever-popular X*-1541 line of parallel port interfaces, ZoomFloppy provides complete functionality for newer machines running multitasking and multi-user operating systems and those systems lacking the legacy parallel port upon which the X*-1541 interfaces depend.
Designed by Commodore enthusiast Nate Lawson, ZoomFloppy utilizes the ubiquitous OpenCBM Commodore device access libraries and application utilities for operation. In addition, applications like the VICE Emulator that include OpenCBM support will work with ZoomFloppy as well. Use ZoomFloppy and VICE to access actual Commodore IEC-based serial devices like the VIC-1541 disk drive or IEEE-488 based devices like the CBM 8050 from your emulator!
ZoomFloppy works in conjunction with the feature-rich OpenCBM media archiving suite maintained and supported by a team led by Spiro Trikaliotis. The open source OpenCBM software supports Unix/Linux/*BSD systems, Macintosh OS X machines, as well as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10. Spiro Trikaliotis has provided a convenient installation manual for multi-platform installation.
ZoomFloppy offers unparallelled performance and robustness for the serious Commodore enthusiast. Archive data while playing games, writing letters, or listening to videos without any loss of data fidelity. Designed for the sometimes demanding nature of today’s applications, ZoomFloppy handles such requirements with ease. ZoomFloppy will find a cherished home in your Commodore computer setup.
