I know the 1541 and 1571 drives can be made to have a parallel port that connects to the parallel port on a IBM PC compatible computer. To my understanding, the parallel port is needed to work with moving copy protected disks on the c64 using the MNIB tools. However, would installing a parallel port on a commodore c64 or 128 computer help in getting many protected disks backed up correctly. I am quite new when it comes to understanding commodore copy protection so please give me some slack here. I am just trying to get old programs archived due to the age of the disks and system. Thanks for any help!
