I have searched but not found any documentationm schematics, nor hint of any Commodore 1581 ( or the likes ) disk drive inter- face projects for the Amiga. I own an Amiga 500 and several Commodore disk drives: 1581, 71, 41 and am wanting to use one or more on my Amiga. Is this possible ? Also, is it possible to use an interface that is originally intended to allow a parallel printer to be used off of the serial port on a CBM computer ? Meaning, can I use it in reverse – use it to interface my serial CBM disk drive to the Amiga's parallel port ? Any help is appreciated.
