I think it's called hooking your C64/128 up to a PC via a X1541 (or
newer) cable, and using the PC as a drive via the appropriate

Apparently it allows you to use the PC as a 1541, and to use emulator
images.

Indeed it is. I hoped that perhaps generations of C128 hackers had found a
way around this by now. Silly me. What's a good substitute drive mechanism for
the 1541/71? The drives
that
come as factory original are pretty chintzy.
I'm not sure you'd be able to swap it out - isn't the head preamp on the
1541
motherboard, not a separate drive interface board?
