Unfortunately, there are a few issues: - one could imagine IEEE-488 drives, which don't work (well, that's only an issue on the PET and CBM II machines) - the computer code is hard-coded for the Commodore 64 - the protocol uses ATN for handshaking (other devices on the serial bus must be powered off) - no support for writing files or sectors has been implemented BTW, to reduce the memory image that needs to be loaded, I'd load the disk drive code with the & command directly from the disk. Has anyone tried if it works on CMD drives? (The command "&name" should execute the file "&name,u" in the disk drive.)
