SD2IEC and Penultimate Cartridge - Tips?

Hello! After about a year of letting my VIC-20 collect dust, I'm back! I was distracted with a Power Mac G4 that I got a garage sale, which I'd be happy to share about in the Other Systems category if people are interested. :)

Anyway, on to the post. I finally am going to have scrounged up the funds to get the newest revision of the Penultimate Cartridge and an SD2IEC drive within the next month. So, on that note, I was wondering if anyone had any tips for usage of either item and what is suggested to use to manage the SD card for the SD2IEC drive.

Thanks! :D

pi1541 has better compatibility as it emulates the drive hardware:

Ok, thanks for the tip! I think I'll stick with my plan to get an SD2IEC right now given that I don't have the expertise to build my own parts and I don't have a Pi to spare. I'll keep this in mind for a future project though, it seems like a neat idea! :D
