how to transfer 5 1/4 disks

[camelwide]

hey new guy here... I got a bunch of software for my C128, id like to transfer that here so that is "runnable" on the emulators there are... I have a bunch of stuff I coded when I was a kid and also a lot of system disks and whatnot... so how do I do this?

Thx! great place btw!

There are several ways of doing this.  I use a relatively simple method.  Go on Ebay and get a cable (XM1541 or some variation thereof).  It will run you about $15+shipping.  Download software called "opencbm" and install it on your favorite PC with a parallel port.  (The cable goes from PC parallel port to commodore disk drive serial port).  Hook the IEC serial end into your 41/71/81 and you're set to go.  opencbm is command line based.  You can probably find a nicer GUI out there - but opencbm is simple and gets the job done.

Good luck!
