* The ''CBMLINK'' is a data transfer system between Commodore 8-bit computers and other systems (Amiga, IBM PC compatible, Apple, Unix workstations). Supported by the VICE emulator. CMBLINK was developed in 2001-2003 by Marko Mäkelä, based on [[#sw prlink|PRLINK]].<ref name=cbmlink>{{cite web|url=http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/crossplatform/transfer/C2N232/cbmlink.html |title=Marko Mäkelä's old computers: cbmlink |publisher=Zimmers.net |date= |accessdate=2013-10-11}}</ref>

* The ''Linux Server 64'' was developed by Roger Lawhorn. It supports the same commands as [[#sw cbmlink|CMBLINK]], but adds a series of commands for printing and scanning using hardware connected to a PC.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://rll.home.insightbb.com/ |title=Home of Linux Server 64 |publisher=Rll.home.insightbb.com |date= |access-date=2013-10-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121015021426/http://rll.home.insightbb.com/ |archive-date=2012-10-15 |url-status=dead |df= }}</ref>

* The ''Prlink'' is a software for data transfer between Commodore 8-bit computers and an Amiga (AmigaDOS) or a PC clone (Linux, MS-DOS). Prlink was developed in 1994-1996 by Marko Mäkelä and Olaf Seibert. It was succeeded by [[#sw cbmlink|CBMLINK]] developed in 2001-2003 by Marko Mäkelä.<ref name=cbmlink />

* The ''1541-III'' is a PIC microcontroller controlling a MMC/SD card with .D64 files. It does however NOT support fastloaders.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jderogee.tripod.com/project1541.htm |title=1541-III |publisher=Jderogee.tripod.com |date= |access-date=2013-10-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130912091801/http://jderogee.tripod.com/project1541.htm |archive-date=2013-09-12 |url-status=dead |df= }}</ref>

* The ''1541EMU'' cable hardware supports full emulation of the Commodore 1541 disk drive. The cable exists in type0 and type1 flavors with full and slightly reduced compatibility, respectively.<ref name=1541emu/> The 1541EMU hardware was designed in 2001-2002 by Ville Muikkula ''et al.'' for use with the [[#sw 1541emu|1541EMU software]]. The 1541EMU cable is available through both building instructions and shops.<ref name=x1541shop>{{cite web|url=http://sta.c64.org/x1541shop.html |title=The X1541 Shop |publisher=Sta.c64.org |date= |accessdate=2013-10-11}}</ref>

* The ''1541U-I'' (and ''1541U-II'') emulates a 1541 disk drive for Commodore computers. It uses an SD-card or MMC-card to store virtual floppy disks. Disk content can be browsed through software on the cartridge and navigated through buttons on the device. The selected disk can be downloaded either through the fully compatible 1541 interface or through a faster but less compatible proprietary interface.<ref name=1541ultimate />
