Getting a C64 up and running?

The 1541 Ultimate II is the best your money can buy. None of the others come close in compatibility. Think trackloaders and disk turbos. Not all games / demos are single file.

When the Chameleon is released, it will be as compatible.

Who says uIEC only uses single file PRG? Besides, where can someone actually buy a 1541 Ultimate II? Link please.

I've had good luck with most games that had their fastloaders removed or the option to disable them, I seem to recall a lot of "Remember" releases in particular working fine on my uIEC, and as red said, they weren't single file games.

I would also like to mention that some fastloaders are supported such as JiffyDOS, The Final Cartridge and DreamLoad. This covers a bunch of the D64s out there. Geos fastloader support is on the way.

Other Commodore card drive options are the SD2IEC from NKCElectronics.com, the 1541-III from Jussi Saily, and the IDE64 v4.1 from Josef Soucek.
