In this video I build a XUM 1541-II adapter that is based on the Zoomfloppy adapter.
This makes it possible to connect a 1541 floppy disk drive to the USB-port of a modern PC, and copy floppy disks over to that PC, or do other disk-operations using OpenCBM commands.

The adapter consists of an Arduino pro micro microcontroller, but is otherwise fairly simple.
