RA>There are 2 of us here in Melb. that are looking at that very thing.
 RA>Rather than any special hardware and/or software, we propose to just
 RA>connect the PC's serial port to the C64's serial port, and have a
 RA>background job running to receive and interpret C64 disk commands.

 I'm interested in this kind of thing too. I suspect the parallel port on
the pc/amiga would be a better option. X1541 uses it very sucessfully.
Maybe we should contact the author of this prog for info? What I want is
sort of the opposite of X1541. Instead of the pc reading the 1541, the c64
should 'read' the pc. But obviously it would be better if the pc/amiga
emulated a cmd HD and not just a 1541..

 RA>Actually, my mate has an Amiga which he'd like to use, and I have 2
 RA>PCs.  We don't anticipate it being a major project, but time is in
 RA>rather short supply at present :(
 
 And I've got an old pc with 60megs of hard drive just waiting for 64 programs (:
