www.cmdweb.com -- They are a commercial outfit that sells lots of Commodore
software/hardware.

Yup... There is a cable called an X1541 (there are also a dizzying array of
variants) that connects from the PC Parallel port to the SERIAL input on the
1541 drive. There is also a piece of software called Star Commander that
will perform the transfers ...

See http://sta.c64.org/sc.html for much more information....
