Whoops! Sorry, my bad. I thought it was a Commodore 64. No

couldn't figure out how to connect up the 1541 drive.
That might, indeed be difficult, unless you build a custom interface.
But can you get an IEEE-488 (lab instrument, et.) interface?
The MSD drive for the Commode can connect to that.
Or,...
could you do terminal emulation with a PC, and connect the 1541 to the
parallel port?
Naw, grab an XA1541 cable and a copy of 64HDD. You can turn your old 386
into a .D64 disk server for your C-64. :)
