>You should be able to just make a .g64 from the SCP software and use it in VICE. That's how it is suppose to work.
Hi all, and it does indeed work, but only for disks with the index pulse. I also wanted it to do any disk, such as my old development disks but I believe it needs a tool/converter to massage the data somewhat and I don't think that work is complete.
BTW, I also have a 1541-II and the top comes off very easily with a few screws exposing the head which can be carefully cleaned with IPA and cotton swabs. I ended up putting the top back on without the screws in, as it needed cleaning so regularly that I found I needed to lift the lid over and over. If you always switch it off and go carefully, cleaning the head is not hard this way - but if you're just not confident, get a cleaner disk.
