My C64 + XE1541

I have been trying to get my new XE1541 adapter working so I can send games over to my C64. I even ended up getting an old IBM Thinkpad (thanks Dale!) to run 64HDD and VC1541 in pure DOS mode. To no avail 🙁

I gave it a go again today and well, it's sending data for sure but then it's failing on an error. The good news is the manufacturer is sending me a new adapter 🙂 Anyway for now take a look at screenshots of it failing miserably.
