-I first heard about the [[https://​cbm-pi1541.firebaseapp.com|Pi1541]] created by Steve White on [[http://​www.chickenlipsradio.org|Chicken Lips Radio]]. There had been other solutions in the past for hooking up an SD card to a C64/128 but nothing for the average hacker that would fully emulate a 1541 or daily chain to another real 1541. +{{ :​wiki:​pi-5165.jpg?​nolink&​300|}} ​I first heard about the [[https://​cbm-pi1541.firebaseapp.com|Pi1541]] created by Steve White on [[http://​www.chickenlipsradio.org|Chicken Lips Radio]].

 Discovering that this project ran bare metal on the Raspberry Pi without any underlying OS was impressive to say the least, exactly what I was hoping someone would eventually produce. ​ Discovering that this project ran bare metal on the Raspberry Pi without any underlying OS was impressive to say the least, exactly what I was hoping someone would eventually produce. ​

 I brought the Pi1541 inside and connected it to the TV to see what it outputs. I was pleased to see that a menu screen appeared and all the D64 images were listed. So something was working. I brought the Pi1541 inside and connected it to the TV to see what it outputs. I was pleased to see that a menu screen appeared and all the D64 images were listed.

 And that's the end of the journey so far. I've always hoped someone would turn a Raspberry Pi into a 1541. It's such an excellent project. I would like to thank both Steve White for creating the Pi1541 and to CG for sharing his Pi1541 daughter-board design. And that's the end of the journey so far.

-I've donated to CG by purchasing his board via PCBWay, and also directly to Steve as a thanks for his hard work and generosity.+I've donated to CG by purchasing ​[[https://​www.pcbway.com/​project/​shareproject/​Pi1541_IO_Adapter__Rev_4.html|his board via PCBWay]], and also [[https://​cbm-pi1541.firebaseapp.com|directly to Steve]] as a thanks for his hard work and generosity.
  
 When you consider you're dropping money for all the parts required, it's a nice idea to drop a few extra dollars to Steve and CG. When you consider you're dropping money for all the parts required, it's a nice idea to drop a few extra dollars to Steve and CG.
