Just fyi, I use WCopy+ software and an 1581 drive to copy disk images (d64
etc) or individual files (PRG, DAT, etc) from  IBM-formatted 720k disks.
I set the 1581 as drive 9.  There are a bunch of steps involved but that’s
my old-school way.

My modern transfer involves an iec2SD device in the game port to copy d64
files to/from the sd card on the iec2sd
