PROBLEMEXPOSITION

You have a (real) disc or a (real) tape and want to transfer it to your PC, or you have a disc image or a tape image and want to transfer it back to a real medium.

INFO

VICE does not allow to connect peripherals directly to the emulator. Anyway, there are 3rd party tools that do exactly this. See section "Links" below.
