Forgive my non-familiarity of the C64 disk drive but
how would the server running from its ROM know about
the filesystem layout? Isn't the drive only working at 
a sector level? The Atari's require a disk operating 
system (DOS) to be booted into RAM to handle such things
as free/used sectors, directories etc. How the C64/1541 
handle this?

Thanks,

Mark
