How can I convert my original disks to this program on PC?

Post by Seven »

Hello all,

I am quite new at this, so sorry if I sound stupid.

Anyways I still have an original Commodore 64 and some disks I would like to have converted to the PC and load with this program.
I've made some pograms in basic myself more than 15 years ago and they are localed on a 5 1/4 disk.

What stuff and tools or cables I need to have this saved on the PC?

Every help would ba appriciated!!
I hope I selected the right forum-group.
Kind Regards,

Normally, I think you use The Star Commander software and an XE1541 Cable, but I am not the best person to advise on this.

This is a dutch site, so I can read it and here I can order the cable and download the software.. This is great news.

This cable and software should be able to transmit data both ways, so it should answer my question.

Thanks a lot guys.
Kind Regards,
