1541-Parallel_Adapter

This is an adapter to easier add a parallel port for the Commodore 1541 and 1541-II diskettedrive.

Item list.

  • 15CM 10 wire flatcable.
  • 15pin D-sub female(not the VGA type), either solder or for IDC ribbon cable (last one recommended).
  • 40 pins IC socket.
  • 2 x 20 pins sil header male-male. (turned/tulip recommended).

All items can be found on eBay or your favorite electronics pusher.

Pin 1 from the PCB connects to Pin 1 of the D-sub connector, 2 to 2 etc.

Let the PCB be as thin as possible. Testet is a 0.8mm thick adapter Washers is needed for the 1541-II drive to lift the mechanical parts. 1.6mm (2 x 0.8mm) height with an inner diameter of 4mm is sufficient to lift the drive.

Many thanks to Peter Schepers.
