Introduction

This page is for German customers of The X1541 Shop. You may also use this section if you're not living in Germany but you choose to rather send the money to a German person.

IMPORTANT! Before making your order, please, make sure to read all the information in the original shop. If having problems with sending the payment, please, contact Nicolas; for all other problems – including technical questions –, contact Joe, in English.

Products

In each table below, enter the quantity of each product, you wish to order, in the "Quantity" column.

Choosing products. If you want to order something but you are not sure what you exactly need or what a product exactly is then see the info page for each product or visit the cables and adaptors page. If you'd like to use The Star Commander or a similar transfer or server/emulation software then see the description of the X1541-series interfaces, the cables that can be used with the Commander and other software.

Product lists. The following tables list all the products we actually sell. The cables are 1.5 meters long, unless otherwise noted. We don't want to sell longer cables because, we believe, a long and complicated cable may pick up unwanted interference, which messes up data transfer. Besides the products listed below, you can order virtually anything. If you want to order something not covered here then, please, give Joe the detailed description of it or a URL of that and be patient. If and when Mr. Axel finishes it, we will compute a price and the new product will be put onto this page so that other people interested in it can order it right away.

Prices. The prices below don't include packaging and shipping.

X1541-series cables

These connect PC's and Commodore machines or drives. For more infos on each cable, follow the link on the product name. For important notes, see the corresponding footnote. If you're not sure which particular X1541-series cable you need then, instead of making a guess, read the cable selection guide on the X1541-series interfaces page.

1. If you have a Pentium or above machine then you should order one of the three other cables below it instead. See the info pages for more details on the differences between the cables. Also, download X1541Test and test the compatibility between your parallel port and the X1541 cable with it.

2. This cable doesn't work on certain motherboards and laptops. For more details, see the info page. On incompatible machines, it is recommended that you use the XA1541 cable instead. If your Commodore drive is equipped with a parallel cable then you might want to order an XEP1541 adaptor instead. If you would like to have a cable that works under GNU/Linux then you should order an XM1541 multitask cable instead.

3. This cable doesn't work on certain motherboards and laptops. For more details, see the info page. On incompatible machines, it is recommended that you use the XA1541 cable instead. If your Commodore drive is equipped with a parallel cable then you might want to order an XMP1541 adaptor instead.

4. This is the original construction, with BSV52 transistors, using a mini-adaptor inside the parallel port plug.

5. We don't actually sell this cable. Instead of it, order one of the X1541-series adaptors and a Commodore parallel cable (see below). That way, you'll be able to make use of your parallel drive from both a Commodore and a PC.

X1541-series adaptors

These substitute X1541-series cables, giving you more features for the same price. For more infos on each adaptor, follow the link on the product name. For important notes, see the corresponding footnote.

1. This is an XEP1541 adaptor, hard-rewired for XM1541 functionality. Also, a "twisted" Commodore serial cable (see below) converts an XEP1541 adaptor into an XMP1541 adaptor (and then you can still use it as an XEP1541 adaptor, with a normal serial cable).

1. This is the method #2 construction of the type 1 cable, the one with the simpler design and less electronical parts: the IC's are soldered onto a small circuit board inside the PC parallel plug. Power for the IC's is supplied from the game port, with a 20 centimeter (0.6 feet) cable.

2. This cable is sold with a length of 1 meter.

1. If you need the "twisted" Commodore serial cable then simply make a comment on that in your order.

2. This is a Y-shaped serial cable that sends data from another serial cable (or any other cable that ends in a serial bus plug, e.g. an X1541-series serial cable) to two Commodore devices. The two cables are 60 centimeters long each.

3. This is almost identical to a serial cable but there is a female plug on one of its ends. It extends a serial cable (or any other cable that ends in a serial bus plug, e.g. an X1541-series serial cable) by another 1.5 meters. Please, note that we do not recommend using very long cables, including those lenghtened with this extension cable, as they can easily pick up interference.

4. This is the method #2 construction of the parallel cable: a short cable inside the drive, a parallel port on the rear of the drive and a long cable that connects this parallel port with the user port of the Commodore machine. You have to solder the short cable yourself onto the periphery chip in the drive and cut a hole on the drive to fit the parallel port into. This package includes everything necessary to connect the drive via an additional parallel connection to either a Commodore machine, that has a user port, or – using an X1541-series adaptor (see above) – to a PC. The parts and the pin layouts are exactly the same as on the construction page.

Shipping prices

Postal charges depend on the weight of the package. Basing shipping costs are between 4.50 EUR and 21.00 EUR, depending on the weight of the package.

Extra shipping options:

• Express. Speeds up the travel of the package from Joe to your local post office. It costs an extra of between 0.20 EUR and 9.80 EUR, depending on the weight of the package.

How you can pay

The prices above are given in Euros, converted from the original prices in Hungarian Forints. Please, note that the prices may change any time, as they're based upon the EUR-to-HUF conversion rate.

There are two methods to pay for your order. Please, select the one you prefer:

Cash. Send the money itself to us.

Bank transfer. Transfer the money from your bank account to ours.

Personal data

Fill in these lines with your personal data. Please, write your address in a single line, separating its components (street, city, state, zip code and country) by a comma, not a newline. Don't forget the country!

IMPORTANT!

1. Read the page of the original shop!

2. Problems with submitting orders. If you're using the AOL browser or are having problems with sending orders – because your browser or mailer software is misconfigured or damaged – then, at the next screen, simply copy the contents of the upper order details window into the clipboard, paste it as plain text into an empty E-mail in your favorite mailer software and send it to Joe.

3. Contacting shopkeepers. Please, note that Nicolas only accepts your money, the products are shipped by Joe, from Hungary. If having problems with sending the payment, please, contact Nicolas; for all other problems – including technical questions –, contact Joe, in English.

4. Write full address. Please, specify the city and country where you live, along with your zip code. Orders with an incomplete address will be ignored.

5. Gather information before ordering. Don't order any product without visiting its info page, else you may end up buying something that doesn't suit your particular needs.

6. Prefer express mail over non-express mail. We suggest that you ask for express shipping. It doesn't cost much more but delivery time will take at most two weeks, as opposed to the maximum of three weeks for non-express mail.

To see the details of your order, along with the total price, press the "[Review order]" button. Your order is not submitted yet when you press the button, only when you confirm the review.

IMPORTANT! The shop is down and I don't know if it will ever be up again. If you want to order from me then contact me and I'll see what I can do about it! Note that I have no X1541-series cables or adaptors anymore; if you want these, please, contact Peter Schepers instead.
