3943.0. "Commodore 1581s on an A500?" by SHARE::DOYLE () Mon Jul 23 1990 13:53

    I helped a friend of mine to upgrade to an A500 from a C128 and 64
    enviroment.
    He has about 5 1581s and he'd like to know if there is any modification
    he can do on these units to make them Amiga Compatible.

    Surely you jest!  He may be able to cannibalize them for their drives,
    but that's about it.  Of course, he could still daisy-chain four of
    them off the GO-64 [Amiga parallel port to C=64/128-compatible serial
    port] interface so he could read/write data in Commodore format.

    Yeah, I'd thought as much, but I thought I'd ask...
