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 ?
What do YOU mean by "read"
the disks?
Do you want access to the contents of the files, or are you archiving
them?
Kryoflux, and several others, will let you store and MAYBE recreate, but
if you think that you have file access, then you will need to write an OS
file-system.
Not to plug a product per se, but X*1541 and XU*1541 cables/adapters
will create D64 images from 1541 disks, which can be used with a myriad
of utilities and emulators designed to read such image formats.
