so that's not a regular drive in a PC as the poster was probably indicating.
this whole thread was looking at KryoFlux.
I know catweasel can work, but I'm not so sure it works very well with protected
disks.
I've heard of people using catweasel with 1541 drives, mounted in their PC's
also.
but there's no way you're going to get a cleaner, more compatible interface than
zoomfloppyand a real 1541...

PC drives are MFM, commodore are not. totally incompatible.
The controller won't read 1541 disks, but the drive will if you use
something like the Catweasel MK4+. I've archived 1541 disks in D64 format
with a MK4+ and a bog-standard 360KB drive.
