Actually you can write C64 disks with a PC floppy drive *BUT* you need a
controller that costs about $100. An X1542 cable on the other hand works
great if you don't wire it in reverse (at which point you would have to take
it apart and rewire it :^)

<sigh> All this talk of the C64 makes me want to find someplace to set one
of mine back up, preferably with the monitor. Of course I've got zero room
for that :^(
