There were several manufacturers who made drives for the Commodore line of
computers. I have two or three examples around here someplace. Chinon is a
name that comes to mind, but I know there were several more as well.

Well, if you're alluding to the Disk ][, this was
not an effort by Apple
to be "non-standard", but was basically due to the brilliant hacks of
Steve Wozniak in adding an inexpensive and simple disk controller to the
Apple ][. And as far as aftermarket goes, I can't think of even one drive
that was made to work on any Commodore that wasn't manufactured by
Commodore, but I myself have at least five examples of disk drives made
for the Apple by random no name manufacturers.
