Great idea to use D81 format for a collection, i had the same idea before :) Except that real 1581 hardware ROMs are usually buggy unless patched... the real devices tend to halt during the standard load or save. I once had that rare drive but didn't want risk it patching myself. Otherwise would been a great drive! And there could have been more great examples using the drive, like this collection.
While 1541 floppy (basically) gives you 664 blocks, 1581 disk drives you 3160 blocks per disk!

d81 version doesn't load the "side2" tunes, asks for side 1. Try for example X-files Theme Remix

Great tunes, but why do I have to flip the disk after almost EVERY song?
Massive collection! Smart use of the 1581 disc-format. Still many never got this drive in the real life, though as far as I can remember it from old parties. But I told someone: How many disc-sides can you fit into 1 disc? So why bother with 4 disc-sided demos, just put them onto a 3,5" one instead!
