Can confirm Pi1541 works 100% on SP12. It's a brilliant piece of =
engineering/programming wizardry.=20

There's a thread on gearslutz about it: =

c-music-production/1049320-emu-sp-12-emxp-2.html

Never tried EMXP but that surely works fine too according to all =
accounts. Not sure which is faster though as they both run at 1980s baud =
rates.
