Jim Brain's uIEC SD C64 adapter help needed

File name length is limited by Commodore DOS, 14 characters iirc. Keep filenames uder that size and you should be fine.

The uiec is made to be as system friendly as possible and that is what makes it the best product! The load speed is close to that of a 1541 by design. You can speed this up tremendously with fast loaders such as JiffyDOS. I recommend you get jiffyDOS. If the program is not JiffyDOS friendly, you can disable and use at ~1541 speeds. If it is JiffyDOS friendly it will fly.

Really?? In that case, it's a bad design. I was going to get one of those things, but my main reason for buying one was to speed up that damn slow 1541 loading. If it's the same speed, there is no point whatsoever.

The SD drive for my Atari 800XL is something like 10X floppy loading.

That's why you use it with JiffyDos, then it flies! Other solutions are fast out of the box, but compatibility is near zero. On my 128T games load in seconds. It also functions as a huge hard drive and is by far the cheapest mass storage solution.

Yes, I suspected that after posting.

Both uIEC and jiffydos for your 64(or 128) is still cheap. JiffyDOS is a must IMHO.
