• XM1541 multitask cable. Serial cable to connect a Commodore drive or machine to the parallel port of a PC. A substitute for the X1541 cable that, unlike the XE1541 extended cable, works natively under GNU/Linux and Windows, as well.
• XA1541 active cable. Serial cable to connect a Commodore drive or machine to the parallel port of a PC. A substitute for the X1541, XE1541 extended and XM1541 multitask cables. This cable is designed to work with all PC motherboards, even those few that the XE1541 extended and XM1541 multitask cables have problems with. This cable works natively under GNU/Linux and Windows, as well.
• XH1541 and XH1571 hybrid cables. Semi-parallel cables to connect a Commodore 1541, 1570 or 1571 drive to the parallel port of a PC. Companions for the X1541 cable.
• XP1541 and XP1571 parallel cables. Parallel cables to connect a Commodore 1541, 1570 or 1571 drive to the parallel port of a PC. Companions for the X1541, XE1541 extended, XM1541 multitask and XA1541 active cables.

X1541-series cable combos
