star commander will most likely not work under xp and modern pc hardware. get yourself a 486 and try with that. |

ultimate boot cd might help to boot into dos, without having a dos partition, google for it, its free. dunno how much xe-1541 is compatible with new parallel ports, you should read the star commander faq. |

In any case you can convert your XE1541 to an XM1541 cable by swapping pins 5 and 6 in the DIN plug. With the XM cable you can use CBM4WIN from XP/W2K. ..or CBM4Linux on, well.. not windows obviously! :-P |

It's a five minutes job, even if you have two left hands (like me). ;-) |
