- This message was replied before me, but I must add that the ultimate way of
- transferring anything between C64 and PC using any CBM serial bus disk drive is
- using the x1541.exe program somewhere under ccosun.caltech.edu:/pub/rknop. The
- program shows the interface cable pin configuration upon running. A PC
- Centronics port is going to emulate CBM serial bus.
-
- Using 1571, 1581 (or even 1541) to read PC disks is possible, but first you
- have to get a utility program enabling it to your C64. The x1541 does not need
- anything in the Commodore end.
