Get an Atari
drive instead. The interface of the C= drives is probably
just as well documented, but the drives were BUTT SLOW. The Atari drives
were factors faster.
Commodore 1541 type drive are serial and have a tremendous
amount of handshaking to the interface. It's just a matter
of writting new interface routines. I've been able to transfer
one byte across the interface in about 50 clock cycles (loading
a 50K file in 12 to 13 seconds).
