When the Chameleon 325 (perhaps the only machine to ever use 3.25" drives
(that Dysan bet the companyt on)) was announced, it WAS vaporware for a
while, as exposed by Infoworld?. (Being made in Bawlmer (Baltimore), it
was "vaporware", not "vapourware")
But, you are probably not talking about the original classic "Chameleon".
Real C64 drives have been connected to PCs in several ways, ranging from
IEEE-488 to parallel port hacks. Why COULDN'T this new attempt have an
adapter made tfor 1541 drives? Why isn't there a USB adapter for old C64
drives?
