IEEE-488 interface and Commodore Pet

I have done some research, and since this subject seems to only interest me, I will respond to myself. Rather, each has its own proprietary interface, and thus uses its own driver. It therefore appears that software specifically written for one card will not work with another, at least without some hacking. The Commodore Pet floppy drive transfer software for the Brain Boxes card appears unknown. There is some information on a do it yourself card to allow a PC to communicate with a Pet drive, but not on this already written software. Therefore, I see no alternate but to appeal to my British brethren regarding any such card they may find in their travels. Tony, Pete, et al, I beseech you! To each of you I say, "Hast thou a response?"
