Why do you want that drive? It is designed for the PET series, and has the
full blown IEEE-488 interface, which the C=64 lacks. So you'd need the
adapter on the 64 as well, and I bet they are harder to find than WMD in
Iraq..
I'd just get a couple of 1541's and daisy chain them together on the port,
along with the printer or printer adapter. If you're wanting double sided
disks, then go with a 128 and 1571 drives, and then you can play cp/m as
well.
