Line 309:

* The sd2iec firmware provides access to an SD card with a Commodore DOS-compatible interface on the [[#hw sd2iec|SD2IEC]] adapter. It also supports many fast loaders, but it is not a Commodore 1541 disk drive emulation.

* The uIEC firmware provides emulation of the Commodore 1541 disk drive on the [[#hw uiec|uIEC]] adapter, providing access to either an IDE hard disk, a CF memory card or a SD memory card, depending on the version, but it has been superseded by a port of the sd2iec firmware to the uIEC hardware in 2008.

* The VC1541 is a Commodore 1541 serial protocol emulator developed in 1997–1998 by Torsten Paul.<ref name=vc1541>{{cite web|url=httphttps://vc1541.sourceforge.net/ |title=Home of VC1541 |publisher=Vc1541.sourceforge.net |date=2003-07-29 |accessdate=2013-10-11}}</ref>

* The Over 5 is a software package for transferring files between a C64 and ana host machine (which can be an Amiga, PC or [[Unix]] box). It works in two different ways, either using the C64 as a server to the host for accessing floppy disks or using the host as a hard disk server for the C64. Over5 was developed in ????-2002 by Daniel Kahlin. It was later ported to [[Windows_API#Major_Versions|Win32]] by Martin Sikström and to Unix by Andreas Anderson.<ref name=over5>{{cite web|url=http://www.kahlin.net/daniel/over5/ |title=Home of Over5 |publisher=Kahlin.net |date= |accessdate=2013-10-11}}</ref>

* The Serial Slave allows you to use a PC as a virtual disk drive for your C64 or [[Commodore 128|C128]]. It was developed in 2001–2002 by Per Olofsson and friends.<ref name=serialslave>[http://www.cling.gu.se/~cl3polof/serslave/ Home of Serial Slave] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20011129124555/http://www.cling.gu.se/~cl3polof/serslave/ |date=2001-11-29 }}</ref>

* The V-1541 is a program that replaces the standard LOAD and SAVE operations on a Commodore 64 computer. The V-1541 program allows your Commodore 64 computer to access files and other content on the [[Internet]] at CommodoreServer.com. CommodoreServer.com is a Virtual Disk Drive to which you can upload D64 [[disk image]]s from any Internet computer and later download the disk from the Commodore 64.<ref name=v1541>{{cite web|url=http://commodoreserver.com/BlogEntryView.asp?BID=FFB55F09EA4348BE921BCC59BAA725C6&EID=9ABF9EE56AF3486AB8B167F2BEC327DF |title=Official blog of Commodore Server |publisher=Commodoreserver.com |date= |accessdate=2013-10-11}}</ref>
