IEC2IEEE

is an interface which translates from the serial IEC-bus of the C64 to the
parallel IEEE-bus of older Commodore-drives like f.e. the SFD-1001. It
supports fast JiffyDOS IEC-bus routines. It's very easy to build oneself and
it's very cheap, about 15.- $/Euros.
First you must build the cuircuit. See the cuircuit-text and the picture at
the homepage www.nlq.de.
You can see the necessary parts f.e. at www.reichelt.de:

The input-amplifier-chip (74LS244) is only necessary if you want to use the

serial bus even if the AVR is switched off.
The output-amplifier-chip (7407) is only necessayr if you use more than five
different serial devices at the IEC-bus. You don't need them usually.

You should make jumper 'r' to position low/closed before connecting the
circuit to the C64 when you program the AVR the first time. Then you can
flash the AVR from the C64 over the serial bus using the C64-programm
'c/avr-flasher'. The flashfile 'ledblnk-mega.obj' is a simple test for the
LED only. 'iec2ieee.obj' is the flashfile for the adapter.

Next is to calibrate the AVR-internal oscylator to 7.37 MHz and to config

the AVR-EEPROM which contains the values for the drive emulation. Use the
program 'c/i2i-cal&con'.

'c/i2mem-reader' is for printing or reading values to find bugs. Please send

an email to NLQ@gmx.de if there are bugs.

The 'c/' means that it's a compiled Basic-program (Austrospeed).
