Hi,

If anyone did use the XM1541 cable with Debian - to copy files between 
Commodore 64 floppy and PC - please help me!

Many Thanks!

Technically I did, but I don't think I can help you because it must
have been over 12 years ago. It helps if you actually add the problem
to your question.

Hi, thanks for the answers!

My main question is how to configure with the ports - which softwares 
should I use and how. The best which I wish to get - using StarCommander 
to copy programs between the PC and Commodore 64 floppy disk.

Those are considered obsolete because they require a parallel port.
Nowadays people use the ZoomFloppy, which is a USB device:

http://store.go4retro.com/zoomfloppy/

However, the software used with the ZoomFloppy (opencbm) also works with
the older devices.

Here are instructions for building it on Linux:

http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/building-opencbm-on-linux.html

There is also a newer version:

http://spiro.trikaliotis.net/Download/opencbm-0.4.99.98/opencbm-0.4.99.98-source.tar.bz2

For further information, see "ZoomFloppy Users" on groups.google.com.

Somewhat ironic that you suggest that a parallel port is obsolete, and
people should buy new shiny things, when discussing transfer tools for
a 34 year old computer.

Nothing is too good for our Commodore 64s!

I've got the cable and the connection of the integrated parallel port - 
on the mainboard of PC.

So I'd like to only know about the configurations.
