I just found out that the Disk Drive on the C64 is a serial interface.
Since I do not own a C64 I have not been interested in learning anything
about it, but after hearing that the Disk Drive is a serial interface
I am wondering if the drive and be interfaced to a different machine.
Does anyone in netland know anything about the C64 Disk Drive? Is there
any technical information out on the disk drive? Is the serial protocol
a big secret? Can the serial protocol be emulated by another machine?
Thanks in advance for any information.
PS please send replys direct to me and if their is enough interest
I will post the results.
