An HD PC floppy drive will *NOT* read commodore 1541 disks.not a chance in hell.
PC drives are MFM, commodore are not. totally incompatible.
as others have mentioned, Jim Brains ZoomFloppy really is the best solution,there's
nibtools to read the disks.even protected disks will work

Hello All,
I was considering buying KryoFlux to read and write Commodore disks. Has anyone done this
? From what I gather you just get the board and you can get the floppy cable and a power
supply and power cord. But you need to buy a HD PC floppy drive and then can read the
Commodore disks. That is Commodore 1541 disks. Does this sound right ?
