For those of you who are handy with a soldering iron and want to transfer you smelly old C64 disks to your PC, here is a great resource

Im making up the XMP1541 cable as I haven't spotted any of the required transistors lying around in my junkbox, but have plenty 'O diodes.
Jaycar sell the 6 pin DIN plugs and DB15 plugs and sockets.
There even an ISO file on the site for a DOS based boot disk to transfer ya files, all you need is a PC with a parallel port, you know, the old school "printer" port!
So, forget about your CB worries, who made what go bang, what religion is the best (hint: none) and dust off your C64 for the upcoming stoke off!
