Commodore 64 diskettes?
No... But could a Commodore 64 read a PC disk? No -
until the Commodore 128
came out with 1571 drive. Then the PC could read (PC formatted) disks made
on the 1571.
Suitably programmed, the 1571 can read FAT disks as well, and so can the 1581.
And 1581 disks can be read in PCs.
But I know Bryan already knew this ;-)
