Installs inside supported Commodore floppy drives to duplicate protected disks and add disk utilities.

Both assembled variants were out of stock on 2026-07-24. Each listing includes a 40-pin socket and version 6.0 software on two 5.25-inch disks. Some drives require desoldering the 6502 and installing a socket, so identify the drive model and board revision before ordering or installing.

USB interfaces that connect Commodore IEC disk drives to a modern computer for disk transfer and archival.

Retro Electronics listed two assembled USB-C compatible boards in stock on 2026-07-25. The reference ZoomFloppy hardware files are openly published. Required USB and Commodore drive cables are not supplied with either documented route, and parallel-transfer features need additional drive-side hardware.
