Easy1541 or Frodo IEC Cable? Which is best?

[Sandman]

Hi All,

I'm wishing to archive all of my old C64 floppies so I need to hook my old 1541 drive to my Amiga.  

I found instructions for 2 different adapter cables, Easy1541 & Frodo IEC. I see that one just connects pins from serial plug to parallel while the other makes use of a IC, the first seems easier to make but

Any suggestions or experience with either is appreciated!

Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the reply....

So it is the Amiga that kills the 1541 when using the Easy1541/Frodo IEC cable?  I'm confused..

So does the 1541 'survive' better when using a modified cable hooked to a PC?

Thanks,
Tim
