Commodore plans to release a new parallel disk drive in the fall, and it is supposed to be five times faster than the 1541. Unfortunately, it works only with the new Plus/4 and Model 16 computers, not with the 64.
A company called Concorde makes a parallel drive for the 64. It costs approx. $380 and is supposed to be compatible with any software that accesses the drive through BASIC or the "kernal" in the normal way. It seems to require a bit of
memory overhead, but that includes its
own DOS.
I don't ave Concorde's address handy, but it is somewhere in California. I think someone else makes a similar machine, but the name escapes me.
