I recall that the Commodore 1541 drive could not store much, and was unreliable too.
not bad for its day, but todays hardware is far superior. So I assume you want your Commodores
to access large amounts of data, stored presently on wintel hosted harddrives?
IIRC, Commodores supported RS232, I had a adaptor that apparently just raised voltage levels.
If that's too slow, possibly a PIC chip that supports USB 2.0 for the wintel side and you grow your own
on the Commodore side with as many parallel pins (for bandwidth) as the Commodore can support.
use the Microchip search tool to find the PIC chip best suited for you.
OT - I still have my VIC20 and C64 with various associated hardware, and Transactor magazines.
Won't ever throw those away!
