A company called Creative Micro Designs has implimented a successful
hard disk for the C64 or C128.  It uses a SCSI adapter internally, and a
DOS which can emulate a 1541/71/81, translate access to the disk into
access to the hard disk.  So the 64 often thinks it is talking to a
floppy, although you can set up partitions that are larger than
floppy-sized if you wish.
