The world of C-64 users is far more active than this little mailing
list. There is a standard type of cable used by several programs
(Linux and Windows and DOS, as I recall) that links a CBM disk drive
to a PC. It may not become just another device under Linux, but
I'm sure there are several tools that let you access (copy and write)
files. Here are some links to get you started. Have fun!
