I think there were several different brands available, looking to purchase an interface card to allow my 8250/8050 drives to be connected to a C64.
Also may be interested in a superpet if anyone has one available. Would be looking to pick it up at the C4expo to avoid shipping costs, but might consider shipping as well.
If you have anything please, PM or email. Thanks
I have two different versions of C64 to IEEE interfaces. Unfortunately I don't want to part from any of them. But I wanted to post them here so you get an idea of what to look for :)
The first one I have is the Superbox64. It was manufactured by a Swedish company called Handic. The other one is rather rare, from a company called Brain Boxes in the UK. And it works both in C64 and C128 mode :)
I have also included a new addition to the X1541-series of cables. It is the XS1541 developed by Nils Eilers in Germany. It doesn't connect your drive to your C64/C128 but to your PC. You can then transfer files back and forth from the drive to your PC. The difference from earlier X1541 cables is that the XS1541 can also be connected to parallell IEEE/488 devices like the 8250/8050 as well as serial devices like the 1541/1571.
Have a look at Nils' homepage, http://xs1541.t-winkler.net/index_en.html (http://xs1541.t-winkler.net/index_en.html)

I didn't know about either of those interfaces. The Brain Box is especially interesting, because in works in C64 and C128 modes.
