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

Actually, my mate has an Amiga which he'd like to use, and I have 2 PCs. 
We don't anticipate it being a major project, but time is in rather short
supply at present :(

Ralphey.
