You need an interface like a cardco brand CARD?/B. This will even translate cursor characters within print statements to ascii characters. Highly recommended. The serial bus that the disk hooks up to has a protocol similiar to the IEEE488 sideways (IEEE is parallel in nature, the 64's bus in serial in nature). The CARD?/B interface costs about $40 and hooks into the centronics parallel port on your printer. The other end plugs into the serial bus and the cassette connector (from which it is powered).
