around and use
the PC as a disk drive "server" for the C64, VIC20 and C128?
And that is only one thought.
I believe that's already been done.

It's called an SIO2PC cable, which is a single interface built around a
1489 quad-line receiver. There are a couple of dos-based host programs,
my favourite being APE, which lets you use your PC as up to 8 drives, an
850 interface, and a printer interface. Great stuff, and it's really
saved my 8-bits from the garage.
