Yes there is. There is a hardware/software file called 64Net. It
will allow you to use a PC as a storage device for the 64/128. Plus you
can use all items you have on your PC, such as CD-ROM.
The author is from Oz (Austrailia), and Gaylene Morance might be
able to help you with the name of the author.

Yes, you can order the latest HD-DOS from CMD. If I remember
correctly the DOS is something like $15.00 or less for the disk.
