That would be '-t parallel' without '-w'. The drive routine consists of
two distinct modules: bus protocol (s1/s2/parallel) and disk access
(turbo/warp). Turbo is implicitly used if '-w' isn't used.

'-t original' is quite different because it doesn't use any custom
routines at all.

(I think that's quite similar to the Commander, BTW)

Huh? There must be sth wrong with the drive then. I'm not sure if I
tested rpm1541 with a 1541-II, but I can't see why it shouldn't work
there...
