    I used to have an Opus disk drive.

    The software i used was by Kobrahsoft.

    It's called "SO4 Advanced Tape to Opus Drive Utility".

    It coped with most protection systems.

  • Which disk interface is better?I'm considering getting a disk interface for the spectrum (just for the sake of it). Which is better, +D or Opus? Necros.

    Disciple! :) The +D is the little cousin of that interface, only without network ports, joystick interface and inhibit button. I think the Beta Disk Interface is more of a contender than the Opus.
