I have seen two products: Disk2Disk, which requires you to have a 5
1/4" Amiga drive hooked up to your Amiga (NOT recommended), or
Access-64, which is slow, crude, and hooks up only to an Amiga 1000.
Both cost more than an RS232 adaptor for the C-64. I suggest getting
the RS232 adaptor for the 64. It's the cheapest way to do it.
