Same as you, interested, but never found anything available that seemed as =
if it would work in the past.

The new versions of the Ultimate1541 sounds promising, mentions standalone =
mode in the specs, and has the DIN port to connect to the SP12.

I think that the SP12 might use the G64 data format, and the specs to say i=
t supports that format read/write in standalone mode, though it does contra=
dict that on another spec page where it says read only.

Have sent them an email to ask if they have had any reports of compatibilit=
y with the SP12, and whether they think it might work.
